Kayle Clements

“I've always been fascinated by the keyboard," says jazz pianist Kayle Clements. "The touch, the sound, the texture, the subtle nuances. My brother played the trumpet when we were kids. Ithought it was cool that I could play a lot of notes while he could just play one.” Kayle is recognized as one of the premier jazz pianists in the West Michigan area. A featured solo performer, conductor and arranger, Kayle is well-known as a performer and musical director for numerous productions at Circle Theatre, Grand Rapids Civic Theater, Hope College, Actors’ Theater and others. He has performed with the national touring company of Disney's Beauty and the Beast, and as a pit musician in professional and semi-professional productions. Kayle has also performed with local and national acts throughout Michigan and the Chicago-land area. He released “Bright Holidays,” a collection of original and traditional Christmas songs and carols in 2005 and is working on a second CD, scheduled to debut spring 2008
