The world’s number one jazz singer and one of the most iconic bands in the jazz-fusion genre celebrate the music of Weather Report, a legendary formation that profoundly renewed the way of making and listening to jazz. On one side, Kurt Elling, described as “a Frank Sinatra with superpowers,” brings his brilliant baritone timbre and his prodigious ability to improvise on any melody. On the other side, the Yellowjackets contribute their wealth of formidable instrumentalists. Together, they approach Weather Report’s music with respect while taking the liberties worthy of any self-respecting jazz musician, infusing new nuances into pieces now considered classics.
