艺人介绍
by Thom Jurek
One of the few male jazz singers from around the baby boom generation, Kurt Elling is an anomaly simply by profession. Given the depth and broad vision of his recordings and performance style, Elling is in a league of his own. Planning a career in the academic world, he discovered jazz and took to it naturally. Deeply influenced by singer and poet Mark Murphy, Elling began to develop his idiosyncratic scat style in the smaller clubs of Chicago (primarily at the Green Mill, sharing the stage with legends Von Freeman and Ed Peterson) and then throughout the Midwest. An Elling show can contain ranting beat poetry, dramatic and poignant readings of Rilke, and hard-swinging scat. After sending a demo to Blue Note, Elling signed to the label and issued Close Your Eyes in 1995. He began to get attention from the jazz press, not only for his talent and original style, but also for his choice in sidemen, which included Laurence Hobgood and Paul Wertico for a time. His ultra-hip persona prevailed on 1996's Messenger, which was tougher and leaner than its predecessor, and along with hard touring and a taste for the theatrical and outrageous, Elling won over not only critics but jazz audiences from coast to coast. Elling was married that same year and chose, depending on your point of view, either to revise his hipster image or broaden his traditional base with a collection of standard ballads and love songs entitled This Time It's Love. The album won numerous awards in magazines and was nominated for a Grammy. Endless touring and guest appearances resulted in Blue Note issuing Live in Chicago from three sets at the Green Mill, and 2001 resulted in Flirting with Twilight, his most ambitious and satisfying recording -- he opened the disc by singing a Charlie Haden bass solo. Man in the Air and Nightmoves followed in 2003 and 2007, respectively.

- @anan：Kurt Elling 1967年11月2日出生在芝加哥，Kurt Elling连年获葛莱美提名的Blue Note之星，年轻帅气的他，是当今美国最炙手可热的爵士男歌手当大部份的爵士歌手在几位六0年代巨星、以及法兰克．辛纳屈之后，有限地选择承继传统与保守风格的同时，Kurt Elling却是少数当今爵士乐坛仍随时在进行挑战的歌手。对于那些熟知他的乐迷们而言，这位芝加哥出生、数度提名葛莱美奖的爵士歌手，几乎就是一个自由奔放的诗人哲学家、一个将爵士人声置于独特印记之中的家伙，他醇厚的音色、简直可以无限延长的中气、让他没有什么无法演唱的曲目。 不可错过的好声音！
