Right About Now
Kurt Elling
The story of SuperBlue, as best as I've gleened is Kurt Elling had moved back to Chicago after years in New York just before the COVID shutdowns began. He wasn't adjusting to it well. His old friend Charlie Hunter told Elling to keep the music going.
Hunter collaborated with two talented young musicians in a Jazz quintet based in Richmond, VA called Butcher Brown, drummer Corey Fonville and DJ Harrison. Hunter, Fonville and Harrison laid some tracks together working online. Hunter sent tracks to Elling who recognized how wonderful they where, but asked his old friend, "Where are the melodies?" Hunter responded, "That's for you to figure out."
The first album put out in 2021 was Superblue and the new release is Superblue: The Iridescent Spree. Here's Elling's Website. I really have enjoyed listening to songs on the albums. What I discovered today is Elling has been touring with Hunter and some really great musicians sitting in DJ Harrison's and Corey Fonville's seats.
This morning I was ten minutes late for work because I started watching a recent performance at Bimhuis from November the sixth with Julius Rodriguez and Marcus Finnie. I watched the show tonight and it made me feel really good. Very entertaining. Really so much fun!

Kurt Elling & Charlie Hunter - Guilty Pleasures - together again for a new set of 6 covers, including a funky take on AC/DCâs âDirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheapâ đČ Nate Smith joins them on drums
GRAMMY award-winning jazz vocalist Kurt Elling builds towards his second, highly anticipated, SuperBlue album in Fall 2023 by releasing a 6-track EP 'Guilty Pleasures,' with guitarist Charlie Hunter and featuring special guest drummer Nate Smith - two musicians who are deservedly regarded as world leading players in their own right. Bursting with his trademark charisma, energy and showmanship, âGuilty Pleasuresâ is set to offer fans of Kurtâs debut SuperBlue album a guiltless treat with six high-octane covers (including Al Jarreauâs Boogie Down as youâve never heard it before!). Thereâs an additional playfulness and looseness in these fresh recordings that is entirely compelling, but Kurtâs creative spark, intensity and flair for storytelling remains at the centre, leaving listeners wanting more and more. The great Chi-town singer and consummate entertainer continues to astonish with each and every recording. The New York Times described Kurt as âthe standout male jazz vocalist of our timeâ, a statement that appears more appropriate with every new release. Kurt Elling - Vocals Charlie Hunter - Hybrid Guitar Nate Smith - Drums

AllMusic Staff Pick: Kurt Elling The Messenger
On the follow-up to his Grammy-nominated debut, jazz singer Kurt Elling applied his wild vocalese and lyrical inventions to a set of originals and quirky readings of classic material ranging from Eden Ahbez's haunting "Nature Boy" to Dexter Gordon's "Tanya Jean."

Kurt Elling is playing in Menasha in September and I got tickets and they're up at the front!! The first time we saw him was in Green Bay when I was in college and we were first or second row. I'm so excited (especially since the last concert I was supposed to go to fell through bc of a blizzard)
