PASSION WORLD IS GRAMMY®-WINNING VOCALIST KURT ELLING’S MOST AMBITIOUS PROJECT YET
Recording features Arturo Sandoval, Sara Gazarek, Till Brönner, Richard Galliano, the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra and the WDR Big Band and Orchestra
Passion World, the fifth Concord album (and eleventh overall) from vocalist Kurt Elling, lives up to its title on both counts. Kurt's latest is indeed his most “worldly” album to date, as Elling casts his net far and wide, from Brazil to Ireland, Germany to France, Scotland to Cuba to Iceland. And it is indeed all about “passions” - the forces that shake our souls. As one of the busiest touring jazz artists, Elling has encountered these passions around the world; he has observed how the same depth of feeling is shaped in different ways by each unique culture through which it is filtered. The result is an album vibrant with diversity and variety, and at the same time a singular celebration of what makes us all human. In terms of its conceptual scope and its breadth of influences, Passion World is the most ambitious project yet from the preeminent male vocalist in jazz.
It is also Elling’s most star-studded album, featuring a small battalion of guest collaborators working in tandem with the singer’s much-traveled quintet (keyboardist Gary Versace, guitarist John McLean, bassist Clark Sommers, drummer Kendrick Scott). The guests include the brilliant veteran trumpeter Cuban émigré Arturo Sandoval; the widely lauded young vocalist Sara Gazarek; German trumpet star Till Brönner; French accordion virtuoso Richard Galliano; the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra and its founder-leader, saxophone savant Tommy Smith; and the world-renowned WDR Big Band and Orchestra from Germany, featuring pianist Frank Chastenier.
For most of us, “passion” conjures up love, at its most dramatic and exotic. “These are by and large compositions about romance,” says Elling, a GRAMMY winner in 2009 (and ten-time GRAMMY nominee during his career). "Romance is one of the things that most countries share, and I've noticed how different communities have their own ways of singing about love and heartbreak. So the nature of songs I have performed in France, for instance, reflects being cool when romance is done. In chanson, the French teach us the value of nonchalance. In lyrics from Cuba or Latin America there is an overwrought, almost threatening response to a broken heart, while in Brazil they sing of the love that remains after the object of love has gone. They mix happiness and sadness together and call it saudade. In Italy or Germany, the lyrics reveal the kind of statuesque and heroic, almost operatic, nature of the broken heart.”

It perfectly reproduces the atmosphere of old Paris and the melancholy of love...

I was writing a jazz song about the heartache i've felt and was looking for some inspiration and came here. I was pleasantly suprised I used the same chords to express my feelings

First saw Kurt open for Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra at Disney Hall. Blown away...can’t stop listening. One of the best live shows we have ever seen.

Beautiful! Even though Kurt does amazing vocals, with tons of notes and invention, my favorite songs are the ballads he does so beautifully, that show off that great timbre, delivered impeccably.

My sentiments exactly. I have never known love,

[@user-im3gk6yb7f]

Для большинства из нас, “страсть” вызывает в воображении любовь, в ее наиболее драматических и экзотических красках. “Это по большому счету композиции о романтике, - говорит певец, победитель "Грэмми" в 2009 году (и он десять раз номинирована на Грэмми за свою карьеру). "Романтика-это одна из вещей, что большинство стран поделиться ей. И я заметил, как разные общины и народы имеют свои собственные способы петь о любви и разбитых сердцах. Так природа песни, я выступал во Франции, например, отражает как романтика происходит. Французский Шансон, должен научить нас ценить беззаботность. В текстах из Кубы или Латинской Америке есть взвинченный, почти угрожающее ответ на "разбитое сердце", а в Бразилии они поют о той любви, которая остается после того, как объект любви ушел. Они сплетают счастье и печаль вместе и называют это " саудаде". В Италии или Германии, лирика выявляет тип монументального и героического, почти оперный характер "разбитого сердца.”
