After a 5 year stint studying and working in LA, Colleen returned to Portland and formed a duo with partner Dale Lawrence. Calling themselves "Nouveau 2" initially, the team eventually dropped the name but expanded the instrumentation of the group, often including flute or saxophone. It was in partnership with Dale that Kacy's first CD was recorded.
In addition to recording and performing, Kacy Colleen created "Jazz Notes," a special feature for local jazz station, KMHD. Colleen researched, recorded and produced a series of audio "portraits" of some of the greatest jazz artists. These two-minute biographies were layered over original music written and performed by Dale Lawrence.
Over the years her concerts have included a promotional tour of California, the Portland Mayor's Ball, the Mt. Hood Festival of Jazz, North by Northwest, and performances at many of the Northwest's best jazz venues. She has continued to build listener support with favorable press, radio air play, her mailings and sales of the recordings.
