With a perfected four octave range, astonishing technical mastery,
and a knack for storytelling, Kurt Elling is among the world’s foremost
jazz vocalists. Every one of his ten albums has been nominated for a Grammy, and, year after year, he has won DownBeat’s Critics Poll and
the Jazz Journalists Association’s “Male Singer of the Year.” Enjoy unique interpretations of songs by The Beatles, Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis,
Stevie Wonder, and more from his latest album 1916 Broadway-

“Since the mid-1990’s, no singer in jazz has been as daring,
dynamic or interesting as Kurt Elling. With his soaring vocal flights,
his edgy lyrics and sense of being on a musical mission, he has come
to embody the creative spirit in jazz.”
