Kurt Elling Puts Jazz Spin on Classic Rock With Producer Don Was

Kurt Elling "Golden Lady" (Stevie Wonder) @ New Morning (Paris)
Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive , All About Jazz Mark Venema, Getty Images The first time we came across Kurt Elling was in June of 1997 during a guerilla campaign of gigs in the Northeast over a six-week stretch. It was towards the end of that run and the singer was walking with crutches after a hiking mishap. His iconoclast reputation as a divinity school dropout (one credit short of his [...]

Kurt Elling: The Gate (Reviews)

Mar 14, 2011, 3:00am PopMatters
Kurt Elling: The Gate (Reviews) The premiere male jazz vocalist, in his prime and handling both jazz and pop material with aplomb. It's not even close. Kurting Elling is far and away the boldest, most talented and consistent male jazz singer working today. Since his Blue Note debut in 1995, Close Your Eyes, Elling has presented a compelling case for the jazz vocal tradition. Elling combines the sonic richness of Sinatra, the beat adventure of Mark Murphy, and the modern cool Cassandra Wilson. He meshes hip and slick, and it's starting to look like he's never going...

Chicago Jazz Festival gets a makeover

May 6, 2010, 1:47pm loudloop
Chicago Jazz Festival gets a makeover The Chicago Tribune reported earlier this week that the 32nd annual Chicago Jazz Festival , which kicks off on August 31 and runs through September 5, will get quite a makeover due to city budget cuts. The Grant Park portions of the Chicago Jazz Festival will be trimmed to two days, September 4 and 5, but the event planners have turned this potential setback into a major positive by setting up a week of jazz festivities at Millennium Park, the Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies and the Chicago Cultural Center.

Top 10 Jazz Albums of 2009

Dec 31, 2009, 12:00pm Spinner.com
Top 10 Jazz Albums of 2009 Filed under: All About Jazz It's that time of year again where I take a moment to look back and try and piece it all together with a succinct list of the year's 10 best jazz albums. This is an annual rite for jazz scribes and just about anyone else out there that covers a beat for a publication. One could argue that it is a sort of weird to rank different artistic endeavors (After all, isn't beauty in the eye of the beholder?), but these lists do serve a purpose -- the [...]

The Late Greats Santa Mix

Dec 1, 2006, 3:24am The Late Greats
The Late Greats Santa Mix For the second holiday music mix, I have compiled 24 tracks about that fat, jolly dude from the North Pole. There may be better versions of some of the songs out there (i.e. Eartha Kitt's Santa Baby is far better than the Pussycat's) but the theme that binds this mix together is ridiculousness. Whether it's the inclusion of two Lynyrd Skynyrd songs (yes, Skynyrd did indeed release an Xmas album), a Slim Shady parody or the Cheech and Chong classic, this is one goofy mix of Santa-centic tunes. 1 ~ Brave Combo: Santa's Polka [...]
