JazzFest 2025: Kurt Elling’s Wildflowers featuring Joey Calderazzo

Renowned for his singular combination of robust swing and poetic insight, two-time GRAMMY Award-winner and fifteen-time GRAMMY nominee Kurt Elling has secured his place among the world’s foremost jazz vocalists. The New York Times called Elling “the standout male jazz vocalist of our time.” The Guardian (UK) pronounced him “a kind of Sinatra with superpowers.” Over a twenty-five-year career of touring and recording, Elling has won three Prix du Jazz Vocal (France), two German Echo Awards, and two Dutch Edison Awards. He has had a 14-year run atop the DownBeat Critics and Readers polls, and has won twelve Jazz Journalists awards for “Male Vocalist of the Year.”

For this very special duo performance, Elling will be accompanied by GRAMMY Award-winning pianist Joey Calderazzo, one of the finest players of his generation. Having recorded thirteen albums as a leader, Calderazzo has traveled the road from child prodigy to in-demand session musician to elite member of the finest ensembles in jazz. Along the way, he has accompanied jazz greats, including Branford Marsalis, Jack DeJohnette and Dave Holland.
