In May of both 2003 and 2005, Kerry attended the Banff Jazz Workshop, performing original music in master classes, shows and concerts. Kerry’s debut CD, “Yearning”, which received four stars from All Music Guide,
was released by CAP Records in 2001. The title track, “Yearning,” is also featured on “Sax And The City: Musical Contributions From New York's Best Women Jazz Instrumentalists” (Apria Records, 2004). Kerry released two more CDs, “Watercolor” (2002) and “Labyrinth” (2005), on her own Polisonic label. “Labyrinth” was a finalist for Best Jazz Album in the 2007 Independent Music Awards.
In the past year, Kerry has taken a musical detour from her instrumental jazz roots. After participating in workshops held by the Songwriters Hall of Fame, she has been inspired to write songs with lyrics. Her just-released fourth album, You Took Me In, features these new songs with a full band including Lonnie Plaxico (Cassandra Wilson, Nellie McKay) and George Colligan, better known as a pianist, on trumpet, drums and synthesizer.
Kerry has performed at Wave Hill, The Blue Note, Birdland, The Cutting Room, the Queen Elizabeth 2, the Columbus Jazz & Ribs Festival, Rockwood Music Hall, and the Kitano, among other venues.
