This was my first opportunity to work with a legendary musician like Kurt Elling - and Vince Mendoza, another legend and probably the biggest example for me as a composer and arranger. I've been very lucky getting this chance and it has kick-started my carreer as a composer and arranger, for that I'm ever so grateful.
Welcome everyone, cheers, and enjoy the music!
And welcome to follow my channel of course! ;)
MAGNIFICENT and AWESOME!!! Mr. Elling is tops among male vocalists with me.
What a great chart! Kurt sounds amazing and the orchestra is tight. Thanks so much for posting.
Both Kurt & the Metropole Orch. are at the top of their game. Thanks for posting--it made my day!
And thank you for a great arrangement as well, Jesse. I was fortunate to be at LantarenVenster on March 24 and thoroughly enjoyed the high quality of the music and its performers. :o)
