Product Details
Kurt Elling arrived on the Chicago jazz scene in the early '90s with a background steeped in theology and poetry, and both inform every phrase he sings. Recorded for Blue Note at a moment when serious jazz vocal records were a rare commodity, this 1995 debut announced a singular talent rooted in the vocalese tradition while pushing well beyond it.
Kurt Elling's debut has the jazz vocalist sharing his shiniest musical instrument-his voice.. His startling delivery, alongside his pitch and range craft a story for you that you can only watch if you CLOSE YOUR EYES.
