From playing the inauguration of President Barack Obama in 2009 to the stage at Judson’s Live in 2026 might not be the straightest of career lines, but it’s indicative of a life in music that has taken this young saxophonist seemingly everywhere.

Grace Kelly, in her early 30s, has already released 14 albums, been on Stephen Colbert’s late-night show, and collaborated with the likes of Wynton Marsalis, Questlove and Gloria Estefan. So two nights of performances at one of the more impressive new rooms in Orlando seems just about right.

7 & 9 p.m. Friday, April 17; 6 & 9 p.m. Saturday, April 18; Judson’s Live at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts,  445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, $46-$64.
