Grammy Award Winning Jazz Vocalist Tours Australia

As one of the world’s foremost jazz vocalists, Kurt Elling has won the DownBeat Critics Poll for 14 consecutive years and has been named the “Male Singer of the Year” by the Jazz Journalists Association on eight different occasions. The New York Times declared him “the standout male vocalist of our time.”

Kurt Elling breathes new life into old favorites for today’s audiences as a renowned artist of vocalese and the heir to jazz pioneers such as Eddie Jefferson, King Pleasure, and Jon Hendricks. He has released a total of six albums with Blue Note Records, been nominated for a Grammy Award on ten occasions, and won Best Vocal Jazz Album for his 2009 album Dedicated to You.

Australia’s Queen of Jazz, Sydney’s own Emma Pask, is joining Elling on his Australian tour. She is best known for her collaboration with Australian virtuoso James Morrison and her appearances on The Voice.
