Kurt Elling & Yellowjackets

Kurt Elling and The Yellowjackets

Kurt Elling & Yellowjackets Celebrate Weather Report is a rousing collaboration between two jazz greats, combining the iconic music of Weather Report with bold reinterpretations and original artistry.

Grammy award-winning vocalist Kurt Elling, known for his captivating baritone and improvisational brilliance, meets the Yellowjackets, jazz fusion legends who have shaped and defined the genre for over four decades.

This dynamic performance honors the groundbreaking legacy of Weather Report and combines reinterpreted classics with fresh musical discoveries, carried by the innovative spirit of Elling and Yellowjackets.

Until the funk flies. Bobby Sparks II is the man for the really solid funk sounds - often in demand when it comes to bringing a good dose of spiciness to the soul stage or the jazz studio. Keyboardist, composer, arranger and conceptual artist Bobby Sparks, known for his collaborations with greats such as Snarky Puppy, Lizz Wright, Marcus Miller, John Scofield and especially Michael League and many more, continues his breathtaking releases with "Paranoia", the counterpart to the album "Schizophrenia - The Yang Project", also released by Leopard Records in 2019. "the Texan keyboard wizard [...] with an incredible groove" wrote Westzeit. Welcome to the Funk Opera!
