LIVE IN CHICAGO

Description:
Recorded at The Green Mill Jazz Club, Chicago. Live In Chicago was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album. Kurt Elling may well be carrying the scat singing torch into the new millennium. Employing a singing approach popularized by Jon Hendricks in the 1950's, Elling seems poised to keep scat not only alive, but modern. His vocal clarity and intonation are impressive, as are his energy and overall cool headedness. Rhythmically diverse and melodically compelling, the musicians have a natural rapport with one another; the music is marked by spontaneous group dynamic shifts, each musician lending a hand in forging remarkable band interplay. Finally, duets between Elling and his mentor, Jon Hendricks, on "Don't Get Started" and "Goin' to Chicago" are an added and endearing plus.
