This recording is a celebration of collaboration, legacy, and timeless jazz. Vocalist Lynn Keller joins forces with legendary trumpet player and conductor Art Depew to bring new life to both big band and small group settings. Together, they weave through classic swing, jazz standards, and fresh interpretations that highlight the power of the full ensemble as well as the intimacy of smaller combos.
With Keller’s warm, expressive voice and Depew’s masterful direction, the music bridges eras—swinging with authenticity, yet carrying the spark of something alive in the moment. The big band charts burst with energy and color, while the small group tracks strip things down to the essence: groove, melody, and heart.
At its core, this album is both a tribute to the great traditions of jazz and a deeply personal statement from two artists who share a mutual respect and love for the music. It’s about connection, joy, and the spirit of collaboration that keeps jazz forever fresh.

Welcome to the darker side of the jazz club. My Man’s An Undertaker is a midnight stroll through smoke-filled rooms coupled with playful defiance. Sometimes flirtatious, sometimes sharp, but always in control – these tunes are a little haunted and are meant to be heard with the lights down low. See you in the shadows!

“Do what you love — others will love that you do!”
That’s Lynn’s motto, and it perfectly captures her approach to music and entertaining. Her joy on stage is infectious — when she’s having fun, so is the audience. For Lynn, performing is an all-encompassing experience: body, mind, and spirit fully alive in the moment and firing on all cylinders.
Lynn performs an elegant mix of jazz standards, blues, and heartfelt ballads, adding her own thoughtful touch to each song. Her devotion to music runs deep — she grew up in a family of musicians and performers, so entertaining is truly in her DNA. Over the years, she’s expanded her repertoire to include French and Spanish selections, different styles and genre. Whatever the occasion, Lynn ensures her music connects with the audience and the moment.
A passionate big band vocalist, Lynn has performed with ensembles such as The Flight 584 Big Band conductor, John Mitchell, The Woody James Legacy Big Band, and Pat Longo’s Hollywood Big Band. Her father, Art Depew, the legendary trumpet player and conductor of the Harry James Orchestra, introduced her to big band music — a love that has only grown stronger. Together, Lynn and her father recorded Notes From My Father (2015), a heartfelt collaboration of big band and small combo arrangements. In 2025, Lynn completed a new album, “My Man’s An Undertaker.” It’s playful a nod to the darker side of the jazz club. Lynn now carries forward her music legacy with joy and dedication.
For many years, Lynn has also been a producer and singing member of the New Randy Van Horne Singers, the group originally known for recording the iconic Flintstones theme and other beloved Hanna-Barbera cartoon songs. Today, Lynn continues to sing, emcee, produce shows, and help promote the group. Performing Randy Van Horne’s intricate eight-part harmonies, she finds the work both challenging and deeply rewarding. The group honors Randy’s innovative legacy by continuing to evolve — adding new arrangements from Anita Kerr, Ed Lojeski, Kirby Shaw, and others — while welcoming talented young singers to carry the torch forward.
“I love bringing together all the skills I’ve developed over a lifetime,” Lynn says. “We’re each a blend of our experiences, and combining those talents on stage is both challenging and incredibly fulfilling.”
With an eclectic musical taste, Lynn performs at special events, themed parties, weddings, and concerts — including the annual Ovations series and “Pops” programs, where she shines as a featured soloist.
Lynn vows to keep singing — because it keeps her joyful, optimistic, and fully alive. Music, for her, is as natural as breathing — and she plans to keep on sharing the love.
