LONDON JAZZ FESTIVAL: Kurt Elling: Dedicated To You

Nothing less than the foremost male singer in jazz today, Elling possesses a rarified voice of laconic beauty with all the world-weary charm and effortless virtuoisty of Mark Murphy, but it's his unusual choice of material (Keith Jarrett, Jobim, Betty Carter) that make him such a compelling figure today. Appearing here for two rare, intimate club dates he focuses on the music of John Coltrane and Johny Hartman.
