About the Event:

Two-time Grammy Award winner Kurt Elling transforms the Great American Songbook into something entirely unique for audiences.  As “the standout male jazz vocalist of our time” (New York Times) and “a kind of Sinatra with superpowers” (The Guardian), Elling brings his rich and colorful baritone voice, musical nuance, and distinctive artistry to this intimate performance.

In a continuation of his Wildflowers album series, Elling is joined by award-winning pianist and composer Christian Sands to present beloved standards with a blending of jazz traditions and his signature fearless modern innovation. With the cool stage presence reminiscent of the legends of the past, the Chicago-based virtuoso doesn't simply sing these classics, he reinvents them with a heightened emotional and musical interpretation filled with unmatched artistry.


This event is presented in partnership with the Old Town School of Folk Music.
