Synopsis

Album Description

For Man In The Air, Elling's sixth release for Blue Note Records, the 35-year-old Chicagoan has created original lyrics for compositions by such giants as saxophonist John Coltrane, pianist Herbie Hancock, guitarist Pat Metheny and others close to his heart. Elling hopes that audiences will fall in love with music that he himself adores, or will rediscover some compositions they have loved and overlooked for a time. Kurt Elling: Vocals
Laurence Hobgood: Piano & Rhodes Electric Piano
Rob Amster: Bass
Frank Parker, Jr.: Drums & Percussion
Stefon Harris: Vibes
Jim Gailloreto: Soprano Saxophone
with Paul Wertico (Drums on Track 1) and Brad Wheeler (Soprano Saxophone on Track 1)

CD Reviews

Collection of great songs

Shawn | IL United States | 10/09/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I enjoy this a lot, as a collection of really nice tunes that are well performed (to say the least.)

I can't imagine having the nerve to tackle Resolution...I love Jon Hendricks and I'll bet this one is right up his alley!

Kurt is an amazing musician, and has a really great working relationship with pianist Hobgood. While Hobgoods playing is very versatile, the arrangements they work out are terrific. That's been the real selling point with me Elling's considerable vocal skills matched so nicely with Hobgoods arrangements.

This is a very enjoyable CD, and for those out there who want to criticize Kurt's poetry...go ahead. I enjoy his lyrics, and his sense of humour.
