Eksklusiv intim-koncert med den dobbelte Grammy-vinder og crooner
I Montmartres serie af intim-koncerter med jazz-giganter, præsenterer vi den dobbelte Grammy-vinder Kurt Elling. Han er ubetinget en af de største jazz-croonere i verden - denne aften i en sjælden intim setting.
Hvad skal jeg vide om ham?
Kurt Elling regnes for vor tids måske største mandlige jazzvokalist. Her er netop en enestående mulighed for at opleve manden, som af mange er blevet kaldt arvtageren til ikoner som Frank Sinatra og Dean Martin.
Han er især kendt for sin ikoniske fire-oktavers baryton stemme, og har gennem tre årtier domineret den internationale jazzscene med sin overlegne teknik og karisma.
Han er også berømt for sin evne til at sætte poesi og filosofiske tekster til improviserede soloer af ikoner som Wayne Shorter, Dexter Gordon og John Coltrane.
Gennem sin karriere har Elling samarbejdet med en lang række af jazzens absolutte sværvægtere, herunder Branford Marsalis, Wayne Shorter, Fred Hersch, Charlie Hunter og Joey Calderazzo. Derudover er han ud over de to Grammy-priser også god for i alt 17 nomineringer.
Hvilken slags jazz spiller de?
En aften med Kurt Elling byder på uforlignelig elegance og poetisk dybde. Stilarten er en sublim og moderne videreførelse af den klassiske vokaljazz.
Virtuose scat-improvisationer og poetiske tekstfortolkninger smelter sammen. Elling formår at forene det sofistikerede og intellektuelle med et råt, sjælfuld drive og en nærværende scenepræstation. Uanset om han fortolker klassiske standarder fra The Great American Songbook, kaster sig over elektrificeret funk-fusion eller skaber nye tekster til kendte instrumental-soloer, er publikum garanteret en medrivende koncertoplevelse.
Hvad skriver anmelderne?
"Kurt Elling er vor tids fremmeste mandlige vokalist." – The New York Times
"Elling forener teknisk overlegenhed med følelsesmæssig dybde på en måde, som få sangere i historien har kunnet matche." – The Guardian
