In the words of the legendary clarinetist/bandleader/composer Artie Shaw, "Kurt Elling is arguably the most interesting and innovative jazz singer to come along in years. He puts his personal imprint on each song. That's what it takes to be a jazz star." Indeed, with four acclaimed albums out on Blue Note Records, as well as three Grammy Award nominations to his credit, Elling seems in position to become one of the most talked about artists of the twenty-first century. musicianguide
