OMG ...i cannot believe that anyone can interpret songs as beautiful as this. I'm 81 years old...and I thought I heard it all....I am a session keyboard musician...I've played with them all....Miles, Bird, Lester, Chet, Stan, Shelly etc etc etc....but this guy just simply blows me away. Is there anything more beautiful than a great song, great lyrics, great music and great interpretation. I keep getting blown away every day when I come across stuff like this...it tells me that I am still on the learning curve!!!! I love this man's work. This is what Jazz and the evolution of the art form is all about!!.

Saw Kurt Elling and this band perform these songs at a free concert in Lewiston, NY a few years ago. It was one of the highlights of my life. I claimed a space close to the stage early in the afternoon and waited there until 7:30 when Mr. Elling appeared. During that time, an 82 year old jazz pianist waited with me and we had a total blast. Unforgettable.

Love these interpretations from Kurt Elling. He's so fresh even years later. I wouldn't jump out on a ledge and say that these are better than the originals, but I love the fresh takes and odd tempos, and chord changes on Stevie's GL are so in step with what cats are doing. Nothing but love.

I was introduced to Kurt's talent whilst I was lying in my bed listening to a late night radio show that was being broadcast from Dublin, Ireland ( Lyric FM's 'The Blue of the Night') . The song that I heard was titled ' In The Wee Small Hours' and I hadn't got a clue who Kurt was or what he looked like. This is the first time that I have found out what Kurt looks like and amazingly he looks exactly how I envisaged that he would ! (LOL)

Saw em do a set in Wolfsburg.. The drummer heard me playing Giant Steps on the piano (slow bossa version w/0 Pat's double time rocketry) i heard "GIANT STEPS!!" from way across the room. I guess he was delighted to hear it played in a 5 star hotel loungey lobby. He introduced me to Kurt and band, put me on the guest list. They were very good, but no where near this good. I was surprised I'd never heard or heard of his great pianist. The band, and Kurt are so next next level here. The solid, soulfully laid down backdrop he gave the guitarist at the end was..whew... you tell me. no words.
