Description
Kurt Elling has become one of the most celebrated male jazz vocalists on the scene today and he has earned a reputation as the contemporary writer of vocalese, the art of setting words to instrumental solos. For Man in the Air, Elling 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. The album finds Elling working once again with long-time collaborator, pianist Laurence Hobgood as well as labelmate Stefon Harris, who has become the most celebrated vibes player of his generation. They are joined by regular Elling trio members bassist Rob Amster and drummer Frank Parker, Jr along with guests sax men Jim Gailloreto and Brad Wheeler and drummer Paul Wertico.
