Kurt Elling - Lonely Avenue (2012)

[@scatmando]

He's in a league of his own !!!!

[@barbararoff9179]

One incredible voice. A voice with soul!

[@Transition333]

He doesn't just sing a song. He tells a story and feels it.

Kurt Elling is A-mazing in concert. His voice is glorious and this youtube video gives the listener only a peek into the depth and richness of his vocals. His stage presence was flawless and the band supported him perfectly.

[@winesnout]

Excellent - this song was one of the highlights of a great evening in NYC.

[@espenandrehanssen194]

Never Say Goodbye

[@Lanearndt]

I miss the Indian guy on Bass. but i love elling enough to listen to through any context!

[@beagle0811]

I remember Ray Charles singing this. But Kurt really does it justice. "Jazz ain't nothing but soul"

[@dalfro13]

Fking awesome hard to be at that level

[@geraldrelford5683]

Cat is unreal. UN FREAKING REAL.

[@rmoraespinto]

best male jazz singer?

[@GilBelford]

No doubt.

[@teejbleu]

I think it helps to say it this way rather. I'm just discovering this guy. I think he has his own sound.

[@jefferyhenderson8878]

In the new world I will ask jehovah for this voice, he let's loose

[@jnaijackson4317]

He's good. And very entertaining

[@acohen1980]

wow.....

[@VioletGiraffe]

Such a great singer! I actually enjoy him as much as Frank Sinatra (almost) :)

[@geraldrelford5683]

Seen him 5 times live. See comment below. 😊

[@tanodyanut6992]

Is it really a satisfactory performance for the contrabass?

[@sababa3]

yes

[@rogeralsop3479]

Decent version.

[@rmoraespinto]

Well, that's a blues melody with a plantation (or work) song accent. It has to be sang that way (as KE skinfully does). I fear that it has notthing to do with his voice (tone) per se.

[@andymiller9081]

Erm....Per se, I think you are wrong. I’ll send you a vid of me and my crap voice and then tell me it has nothing to do with voice. 😂😂 KE is a Tone Master and the Melody, Rhythm & Pentameter can always be pissed on by inferior singers.

[@susiemichell447]

Stunning Kurt. Yet, in my sole opinion you need to keep your head & body quieter and look into the eyes of your audience to gain 'impact'. Just saying from my own observations solely. Bless your talent is amazing. Don't overdo your body motions, it loses you from your audience. Yet, I wish you to be just you.

[@edddo4314]

Is this a joke?

[@GilBelford]

That's racist.

[@gregbartlett5818]

No...it's not racist.

[@paulwalrond8836]

What's racist? Did I miss something? I'm serious what did I miss?
