One of the most influential and innovative vocalists in jazz, Kurt Elling, presents Wildflowers, Vol. 1-a brand new, spur-of-the-moment album created in the moment with pianist Sullivan Fortner, and featuring the remarkable Cécile McLorin Salvant. Kurt Elling is widely regarded as one of the most influential and innovative vocalists in the global jazz scene. Renowned for his rich baritone voice and his ability to seamlessly merge jazz tradition with modern sensibilities, Elling has carved out a distinctive place within the genre. His artistry is marked by a fearless approach to improvisation, spellbinding virtuosity, and a profound connection to the lyrical narratives he brings to life. His latest album, Wildflowers, Vol. 1, is a spontaneous and inspired exploration of creativity and collaboration, featuring the masterful pianist Sullivan Fortner. Known for his willingness to venture into the unexpected, Elling continues to push the boundaries of jazz with this intimate, unscripted piano-vocal session. Following a series of Grammy-nominated recordings with the funky, jazz-adjacent SuperBlue, Elling felt compelled to explore a more stripped-down and organic sound, resulting in an album that is both vibrant and warmly resonant.
