The Alluvion Jazz Series, purchase the entire series package here
The Alluvion Jazz Series has delivered the unbelievable once again. The one and only Kurt Elling and Charlie Hunter are coming to Traverse City in quartet form with their new band: SuperBlue
We are offering two shows in the same night as it is likely to sell out. A 7PM show and a 9PM show will be offered on Aug 31st. Tickets sold separately for each show. Both shows are 75 minute sets.
GRAMMY® Award-winner Kurt Elling is without question today’s preeminent male jazz vocalist, renowned worldwide for his unparalleled virtuosity and flair for trailblazing artistic exploration. From his stunning reinvention of timeless standards to his own captivating original songcraft, the Chicago-based musician has fused his dazzling talents across a panoply of musical approaches, emblazoning each with signature imagination, insight, and emotional intelligence.
Where many male jazz vocalists at this stage in a much vaunted career have tended to stick to the tried and true, Elling seems to be growing more ambitious and experimental with the passing of time, a tendency evidenced by his stunning new LP, SuperBlue: The Iridescent Spree. The followup to 2021’s remarkable SuperBlue, the album once again sees Elling joining forces with legendary producer/guitarist Charlie Hunter, drummer Marcus Finnie, and keyboardist Kenny Banks Jr for a kaleidoscopic collection of new songs, surprising covers, and dynamic reinventions.
