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!

AYYYY I'm back in my jazzfucker era

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)

[meteorologistaustenlonek]
