Kurt Elling Celebrates Weather Report
(Presented by UMS)
Known for his singular combination of robust swing and poetic insight, the two-time Grammy winner brings his one-of-a-kind brand of contemporary lyricism and vocal ingenuity to vocal jazz. His voice is instantly recognizable, embracing listeners with his warm, rich baritone and navigating the full span of his four-octave range as a virtuoso improviser and compelling storyteller. This celebration of Weather Report, one of jazz’s great supergroups, which was active in the 1970s and early 80s, will reimagine the fusion band’s iconic songs in addition to new arrangements inspired by their constellation of musicians. The program will include “A Remark You Made,” “Three Views of a Secret,” and “Continuum,” among other influential compositions from the Weather Report sphere. This concert celebration features Grammy Award-winning drummer and Weather Report alumnus Peter Erskine in his UMS debut.
