Easy Living with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
Described by New York Times as 'the standout male jazz vocalist of our times', Kurt Elling's smooth four-octave baritone voice is matched only by his emotional range: from quietly crooned love songs to virtuosic vocal displayed. For multi-award winner and 2008 Grammy Award nominee, Elling, it's about communication. He says 'I want people to be surprised, to be moved, to laugh, to remember something important they may have forgotten, I want them to have what they need.'
Awesome Kurt - the world is a better place now!

Large field of voice. A singer of great class. Brilliant.
Starting the song at the bridge; that's brilliant!
Kurt is nothing short of class.
Should be titled Easy Listening. He is perfect.
Good arrangement and singer. I've never heard this song in 6/8 time.

Carlos, tuve el gusto de conocerlo y a su banda cuando vino a Taipei. Un cantante increible y musicos fantásticos! Su pianista es su brazo derecho!
wow.this vid just put 2 year ago.now theres 2 people posting 2 weeks ago.amazing.
You can spend your whole life working towards an image of your projected self, and find that there are others that you would rather be. I am taken aback, awestruck, and completely in love with Kurt's voice. And when i think of singing, i think of singing like him. The ease, the room for the unexpected; years from now, he will be the one people look back and rediscover as a shining light for this age.
Kurt Selling and James Elltoy, masters of American art forms who could have been Lutheran pastors, but for a twist of fate.
Amazing singer and pianist! Interesting classical twist at the end of the song.
I knew the billie Holiday's version but this is the biggest i ever seen!wonderfull, thank you.
Kurt is the best singer and vocalist in the word," for the moment", with certainly bobby mac F.
Sooo soothing, sooo beautiful, and what a classic rendition. What an artist! Can't get enough of hearing his performances.
splendido!

KURT ELLING
You can watch it in HD on BigPond TV, the next best thing i guess.
Brilliant piano by Lawrence Hobgood.
Elling is grand; people just don't understand...
Qué maravilla!
My babe of forty years last month rules me in a good way. Glad and blessed! Nothing compares to a wonderful wife! Easy living! When you're in love!
QUATRO MESES DESPOES.....ES MISMO INCRIVEL DE VERDAD?----CLARO QUE SY.....saludos a la distancia.-
Lawrence is amazing. The university I was studying at had Kurt's group out for a concert a few years ago. Of course they were amazing. Kinda weird, but Lawrence wore gloves to keep his hands warm before playing and asked if the piano could be retuned between two night performances. I know there will be some haters. Just saying.
Definition of totes amaze balls.
this is fucking awesome.so,now wheres kurt elling doing cold duck time,that was the best,i cant find it anywhere
¡Mazacote!
@Rafael57645 Tienes razón, es una experiencia maravillosa escuchar esta pieza.
@jazzykowa -I'll agree.
most likely it's laurence hobgood, who's at the piano here. he does most of elling's arrangements.
Is there DVD with this concert?
@mprimecoleman Hey, those hands had better have their own bodyguards!

シカゴの顔役、オーケストラで発砲（声？）
こんな湧き上がる程の気持ちを味わせていただいて本当に撃たれた気分！・・・でもkurt ELLING一派も楽しいやろね。憎いよ、本当。
Does everyone know if Kurt did this whole arrangement for strings? Or did he have help?
a complete non comparison: Buble is a terrific pop singer, this guy is from another world musically; like comparing Ella to Whitney houston, absurd....
that's what everybody is saying, but i never heard frank improvising... Not like this, anyway... frank was a singer with a beautiful voice, this guy is better in my oppinion, great voice, great improv style
I like Kurt, I really do but yes...I thought it was just a bit overdone. I give it 3 stars. :)
he's a bit like Frank Sinatra.
if frank could have sung in tune and not chopped-up the phrases that would be true.
This guy basically has no voice, but what little he has he miraculously holds the audiences attention. Somehow he has gained and maintained popular appeal! I can't knock that, although that orchestration for " Easy Living" is way overly done and dramatic. Way too much, perhaps to balance out the fact he could barely sing a note. I guess as long as he has an audience, he will continue singing those same 5 notes that sang throughout that song! Can't knock his hustle, though!
This man is nothing, you don't know what jazz is!
most likely it's laurence hobgood, who's at the piano here. he does most of elling's arrangements.
