JAZZ DOUBLE BILL Bill Charlap and Kurt EllingFriday, APRIL 20 • 8 pmSpaulding Auditorium Jubilee, Bill Charlap
Downtown, Kurt Elling
Click to download PROGRAM NOTES Bill Charlap, one of jazz's foremost pianists, has forged a solo career out of his hard-swinging brio and rigor-meets-romance musical sensibility. His Grammy-nominated recordings and live performances celebrate the Great American Songbook, paying homage to Hoagy Carmichael, Leonard Bernstein and George Gershwin, while giving standards a fresh treatment. Next up is jazz's preeminent male vocalist Kurt Elling, a six-time Grammy nominee for each of his Blue Note recordings. Captivating audiences with swinging favorites and his own brilliantly innovative compositions, “Elling sings, scats, does vocalese, tells stories and reads poetry in a baritone voice that bounces from sweet to tangy” (Philadelphia Daily News). Don't miss this dazzling double bill: the next generation of classic jazz. Cosponsored by Bank of America. |
 “Charlap ranges over the keyboard with nimble, crisply swinging lines...he invariably zeroes in on the essence.” - Time Magazine “Elling is an improviser who darts around the scales with astounding agility.” - The Boston Globe PURCHASE TICKETS ONLINERELATED EVENTPost-performance discussion with the musicians, Spaulding Auditorium |
