It takes not a stretch of any definition of jazz to realize that this Chicago-based interpreter of music is every bit the jazz vocalist anyone ever was.<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;You Don&#8217;t Know What Love Is&#8221; is a prime example. He bends and holds notes much like a saxophone, but at the same time never altering the message of the lyric.Instead, he brings the lyric into bold relief.<\/p>\n<p>  The fabulous Laurence Hobgood is right here on piano, playing his usual gorgeous solos \u0097 and so perfectly \u0097 behind Elling. Other tunes include: &#8220;Detour Ahead,&#8221; &#8220;Moonlight Serenade,&#8221; &#8220;Blame It On My Youth,&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;m Through with Love&#8221; and more.      <\/p>\n<p><font size=\"1\" face=\"verdana\">Reprinted with kind permission of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theskanner.com\" target=\"_blank\">The Skanner<\/a>.<\/font><br \/><\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><font face=\"Verdana, Helvetica\" size=\"1\" style=\"font-face:verdana; font-size:8pt\"><cfinclude template=\"adbanner.asp\"\/><\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p>  <?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flirting With Twilight Kurt Elling (Blue Note &#8211; 2001) by<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4024\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
