for someones...for some others not... Kurt Ellings fifth album (2001) grabs you by the heartstrings and just wont let go.Its a ballad album. Emphasizing traditional harmony with unique inner voicing, Elling strolls with a superb horn trio and rhythm section.From a delicately soft whisper to a mighty roar, the vocalist produces dynamic changes to enhance each lyric gem. Coming from a wide range of sources, the program represents melodic beauty, and is steeped in jazzs history. Personnel: Kurt Elling- voice//Clay Jenkins- trumpet// Jeff Clayton- alto saxophone//Bob Sheppard- tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone// Laurence Hobgood- piano// Marc Johnson- acoustic bass// Peter Erskine- drums. from Flirting with Twilight Blue Note
