Kurt Elling Celebrates Weather Report

Kurt Elling, a two-time GRAMMY Award winner, is celebrated for his rich sound, innovative vocalese, and contemporary beat lyricism. The New York Times calls him 'the standout male jazz vocalist of our time,' while The Guardian compares him to 'a kind of Sinatra with superpowers.' With over 25 years in music, Elling has earned numerous accolades, including three Prix du Jazz Vocal, two Echo Awards, and twelve Jazz Journalists Awards for "Male Vocalist of the Year." His collaborations include Branford Marsalis, Fred Hersch, and Stefon Harris, and he has performed with top ensembles like the NY Philharmonic and Count Basie Orchestra. Elling has also created multi-disciplinary performances for Chicago's Steppenwolf Theater and is co-writing a new jazz musical, The Big Blind. His international tours include performances at UNESCO's International Jazz Day and twice at the White House. He also served as Vice Chairman of The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.
