Kurt Elling "The Messenger" Blue Note cd

My friend Dave Laczko says this is his favorite Ellington release. I can see why he digs it so much, it's a great one. It's Elling's second studio album.

Any idea where in NY or Philadelpia (Sid Simmons of Visitors fame!) this picture was taken? Thanks!

Y'know another advantage of CDs over digital files?  While listening to this disc, I opened up the liner notes booklet only to find the ticket stub from the first time I saw the Gene Harris Quartet -- Feb. 17, 1996 at Ohlone College.  So in addition to enjoying the fun music on this CD, I also got to re-enjoy a few memories of that concert.

If you like Jason's compositions, its much of the same. Odd and at times shifting time signatures.  Solo-wise nothing overtly fiery (aside from his solo on Kalispel Bay!) from Jason but very deliberate as expected. Mark follows Jason's lead, their interplay is exceptional, and when he solos its much in the same vein as Jason, nothing searing, very contemplative and with Mark's unmistakeable tone. Matt and Kendrick are their typical selves. I honestly think that either could fit into any ensemble. It's a 2 CD set and as you move to the second disc things tend to liven up more and the band feels like it is settling in.
