{"product_id":"elling-kurt-questions-cd-8985492832","title":"Kurt Elling - The Questions [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003e2018 release. The Questions, co-produced by Kurt Elling and Branford Marsalis, presents Elling's interpretations of songs written by some of music's most influential composers, including Bob Dylan (\"A Hard Rain s A-Gonna Fall\"), Leonard Bernstein (\"Lonely Town\"), Rodgers \u0026amp; Hammerstein (\"I Have Dreamed\" from The King and I), plus a powerful revisit of Paul Simon's \"American Tune.\" There are also several compelling new arrangements of what were originally instrumental jazz compositions which feature Elling's own new lyrics. Among these are \"A Secret in Three Views\" (adapted from Jaco Pastorius' \"Three Views of a Secret\"), Carla Bley's \"Endless Lawns\" (originally titled \"Lawns\"), and Joey Calderazzo's \"The Enchantress\" (originally called \"The Lonely Swan\"). Hoagy Carmichael's classic, \"Skylark,\" closes out the recording. The musical lineup on The Questions showcases Elling at the height of his abilities. He is accompanied by guest performers Branford Marsalis (soprano and tenor saxophones), Joey Calderazzo (piano), Marquis Hill (flugelhorn) and Jeff \"Tain\" Watts (drums). The core group of musicians from Elling s working band features John McLean (guitar), Stu Mindeman (piano\/B3) and Clark Sommers (bass).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall - Kurt Elling Feat.
