Renowned for his singular combination of robust swing and poetic insight, Kurt Elling has secured his place among the world’s foremost jazz vocalists. For his “Secrets Are the Best Stories” project with pianist Danilo Perez, Elling adds evocative new lyrics to compositions by greats like Pérez’s iconic collaborator Wayne Shorter, late fusion bass genius Jaco Pastorius, and visionary composer/arranger Vince Mendoza and to pieces from Pérez’s own catalog.
