"Superblue: The Iridescent Spree" is the highly anticipated follow-up to the 2021 GRAMMY-nominated album of the same name by genre movers Kurt Elling & Charlie Hunter. Together with multi-instrumentalist duo Corey Fonville (drums) and DJ Harrison (bassist and keyboardist for Richmond, VA jazz-funk-fusion quintet Butcher Brown), they've assembled a kaleidoscopic collection of new songs, surprising cover versions and dynamic reinventions, all buoyed by sophisticated production, top-notch musicians and Elling's signature vocal talent. If the first album was a radical change for Elling, "Superblue: The Iridescent Spree" is more of an exquisite evolution of the original. Songs like the exuberant, anthemic "Freeman Square" and the seething, brass-heavy "Not Here/Not Now" are equally steeped in R&B, neo-soul, classic pop, psychedelic poetry, rowdy funk and, of course, jazz in all its facets, and layered with Elling's inventive lyricism, whose smooth swing and rhythmic elasticity are marked by wit, pathos and a wry sense of the human experience. GRAMMY® Award-winner Kurt Elling is unquestionably the preeminent male jazz vocalist of our time, known worldwide for his unparalleled virtuosity and flair for groundbreaking artistic discovery. From his breathtaking reinterpretations of timeless standards to his own captivating songs, the Chicago native has combined his dazzling talents in a variety of musical approaches that he endows with his distinctive imagination, insight and emotional intelligence. With multiple Grammy nominations, two Grammy wins, as well as three Prix du Jazz Vocal, two German Echo and two Dutch Edison Awards, this storytelling and natural jazz artist with a sense of unpredictability is on the rise.
