Kurt Elling and the Yellowjackets 'Celebrate Weather Report' @Lazzaretto

The world's number one jazz singer and one of the most iconic bands in the jazz-fusion area celebrate the music of Weather Report, the legendary line-up that has profoundly renewed the way of making and listening to jazz. On the one hand, Kurt Elling, dubbed “a Frank Sinatra with superpowers”, brings his brilliant baritone and prodigious ability to improvise on any melody, on the other hand, the Yellowjackets bring their own formidable instrumental background. All together they approach Weather Report's music with respect but taking those freedoms worthy of any self-respecting jazz musician, infusing new nuances to tunes that are now considered classics.
