Kurt Elling - Man In The Air' (2003)



Neki kazu da je Elling "talentovani tumac napeva u
jazz stilu" Drugi medjutim, nalaze da je upravo njegov
nacin pevanja fascinantan i vredan hvale. Neki ga opet
proglasavaju najboljim i najtalentovanijim muskim jazz
vokalom danas. Moje misljenje je da je Kurt Elling jedan
od najboljih jazz vokala i dok imamo Kurt Elling-a,
ne moramo brinuti o buducnosti pevanja u jazz-u.
U ovom CD izdanju ce te zaista uzivati.
