Kurt Elling is a world class performer and artist. On top of that, he’s a spectacularly nice man who gave up time out of his ‘Forced Vacation’ to talk with us.
Kurt Elling’s new album featuring pianist Danilo Pérez, Secrets Are the Best Stories, is a beautiful, deep, compassionate, and adventurous piece of art. From subtle to high energy, this album covers all the bases without giving up anything on the music side of things. Every note has purpose, every phrase has direction.
We had a great time preparing for and speaking with Mr. (Grammy Award winning vocalist) Kurt Elling. We hope you enjoy this album (and our conversation with Mr. Elling) as much as we have!
