Master Class - Kurt Elling 

this was one of the best master classes I've witnessed! He is so generous, funny, and an amazing artist, and so articulate. I good go on and on. He was so respectful and helpful to these young singers. He wasn't afraid to totally point out where they needed guidance. Thank you Kurt.

" Heartbreak ...overcoming yourself... Failure, overcoming failure, being broke ...That's the stuff that's not even musical..." Pure gold the sweet spot in the pocket

Every word he said needed to be said. Awesome.

I literally screamed with joy when this popped up in my suggestions. Thank you 🌟🙏.

Wonderful! This is gold for jazz singers

Oh how I was I could have seen this 15 years ago, I believe it would have ment a different path for me. Thanks for sharing this, I will pass this on to the students I have so they can profit from it and I will implement these golden tips for myself where I can.

I’m 40. I was classical clarinetist as a major. My heart wasn’t in it. It was in the music. I’m grateful for every chance to create music, or act, or even teach color guard. I always loved Bobby Mcferrin. All time favorite vocalist. Ella, Thornton, Etta, Mel Torme, and of course Frank. Before I walked away from from degree my senior year, I was lucky enough to hear Nature Boy by Kurt. I was immediately obsessed. So I stayed on top of all of his stuff. The Waking is probably my favorite. It just speaks to me. Here I am 40. With that same need to create music, but unsure how to use my training and ear and develop my own style and vocabulary. I kept trying to get a trio together. But I was putting the cart before the workhorse. I can’t move into Trane Changes with pitch accuracy. I can hear them after. But when I go for them I’m off and that just doesn’t work. But it’s because I’m not leading with my ears. I need to build some licks using slower tunes some patterns that get me back to where I need to be eventually. And practice with a piano and a metronome and record it. Same work ethic and heart, so I have the freedom. I need the vocabulary.

Interesting content for musicians and teachers (I teach languages), delivered in an immensely agreeable way. Thanks, Kurt Elling, thanks, organizers!

I’d love to see him teach in person. Super intelligent and kind

wonderful!

Thank you !

amazing info. Thanks for sharing

The best advice if you wanna be a jazz singer study how Ella and Sarah sang it. Ditch the RnB inflection.

Awesome masterclass

Piano is too loud

This is a very heavy-handed approach by both pianist and mentor who like to dominate the proceedings. Their lack of sensitivity to the singers is
