At the helm of Uptown Media Joint Ventures, K Kelly is following his passion of helping authors get their viable stories published and marketed to their readers! This passion includes expanding the audiences for recording artists and freelance journalists, as well! K Kelly is an avid Modern Jazz enthusiast. He proudly owns a vintage collection of over 1000 classic jazz CDs. His first jazz book, a buying guide, Best of the Best Modern Jazz was an effort to compile his significant knowledge of the genre to assist others who want to develop and enjoy their own modern jazz collection. Modern jazz Classics expands on the concept by adding biographical information for key musicians of the modern jazz era. K Kelly is the author of the book, Modern Jazz Classics. He is a contributor to Original Muntu Poet Robert Fleming's noted work Free Jazz and, a concise, yet comprehensive, book on the best of modern jazz albums. K Kelly would like to give thanks all the Original Muntu Poets who have been indispensable in the development of Uptown Media, with special thanks to Russell Atkins, M.A. Shaheed. Art Nixon, Robert Fleming, and Yaseen Assami.
