Once you hear Kurt Elling, you never forget the exciting sound of his four-octave voice or the daring diversity of a repertoire that includes jazz, pop, progressive rock, R&B, and original art music. His 2010 tribute to the classic recordings of John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman won a Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album, and he has been nominated for the Jazz Journalists Association 2011 Male Singer of the Year award, an honor he has won six times since 2000. No wonder the New York Times has described him as “the standout male vocalist of our time,” both a musician’s musician and an audience favorite wherever he performs.
“No matter what the room, chances are Kurt Elling would be the coolest one in it.” – Los Angeles Times

I live in France. Yesterday 20th Nov 2011, I saw the ONE SHOT NOT show on the ARTE channel and Kurt was singing on it. Firstly, the show must have been recorded because according to his schedule he was singing at the Bistro in St. Louis from the 16 to 19th November. However during a short interview, he spoke about an Ellington song for which he wrote the lyrics of a certain improvistation of a sax solo(I think). He then sang the song. In all my 60 years of listening to jazz singers, this was unique. Could I please have the details of the CD, and if possible, also the DVD? Please publish your schedule well in advance for France. Merci d’avance
Hi Peter,
Yes, he was in St. Louis the 16-19 of November. You can find his tour schedule here: http://kurtelling.com/touring/
His CD is called “The Gate” http://kurtelling.com/music/the_gate/
He is a very unique singer and I hope you get the chance to hear him live at some point!
