KURT ELLING
Kurt Elling-vocals, Laurence Hobgood-piano, Clark Sommers-bass, Ulysses Owens-drums
Audience and critics agree: singer Kurt Elling is a phenomenon. For the ninth time in a row he was voted best jazz vocalist in the Downbeat polls. His most recent album Nightmoves reached the top of the Billboard Jazz Charts. Elling sings standards, recites poetry and vocalises solos by musicians like Dexter Gordon and Pat Metheny. ‘One of the few post-Baby Boom hardcore jazz artists who can live up to the term “original”’ (Downbeat).
