“Dedicated to You” Kurt Elling sings: Coltrane/Hartman featuring Ernie Watts and the Laurence Hobgood Trio

“…soaring vocal flights…he has come to embody the creative spirit in jazz.” –Washington Post

When the Chicago Jazz Festival asked him to reiterate the music of John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman, eight-time Grammy nominee Kurt Elling was happy to oblige. This performance of classic cuts like Autumn Serenade and My One and Only Love will leave no question as to why Elling’s rich baritone consistently lands “Best Male Vocalist” honors from JazzTimes, DownBeat and the Jazz Journalist’s Association.
