Description
When the Chicago Jazz Festival asked him to reiterate the music of John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman, eight-time Grammy nominee Kurt Elling was happy to oblige (on the condition that he be granted artistic license to “do it his own way”). The vocalist set to work enlisting a string quartet to accommodate his vision. He has since incorporated saxophonist / flutist Ernie Watts atop a trio lead by his long-time accomplice, pianist / arranger Laurence Hobgood. This performance of classic cuts like Autumn Serenade and My One and Only Love will leave no question as to why Elling’s rich baritone consistently lands “Best Male Vocalist” honors from JazzTimes, DownBeat and the Jazz Journalist’s Association.http://www.kurtelling.com
