WDCB Jazz at the MAC
Winter Jazz Fest
Kurt Elling
Saturday, Jan. 16, 2010, 8 p.m.Groundbreaking jazz artist and seven-time Grammy nominee Kurt Elling re-energizes the jazz genre by injecting poetry, image and sometimes movement. Resurrecting the art of vocalese, pioneered by artists such as Eddie Jefferson and Al Jarreau, Elling sets the solos of Wayne Shorter, Keith Jarrett, Pat Metheny and others to his own compelling lyrics. London’s Guardian declared, “Elling is an omnicompetent artist of almost ruthless efficiency … truly a musical phenomenon.”
Tickets: $38 adult/36 senior/28 youth
