My strength is to communicate with an audience and to know what jazz singing is capable of. -Kurt Elling Strength
I travel all the time. And as I go around the world, I try to learn a little something and not just take up all the available air. -Kurt Elling Travel
I consider myself very fortunate. I have a beautiful wife who supports my work and is raising our daughter when I'm out on the road. -Kurt Elling Work
It helps me to learn things in different languages, even if it's just phonetically, and to make myself vulnerable to other audiences by trying to reflect back to them the genius of their own cultures, and to do that, oftentimes, in new jazz settings, new arrangements. It's a way to show respect. -Kurt Elling Respect
