1619 Broadway & #8210 The Brill Building Project

Concord Jazz is proud to announce the release of 1619 BROADWAY: THE BRILL BUILDING PROJECT, the new album from the foremost jazz male vocalist, Kurt Elling. With 1619 BROADWAY: THE BRILL BUILDING PROJECT, Elling honors the legendary location that the London Telegraph called the most important generator of popular songs in the Western world. Even for the ceaselessly inventive Grammy-winning singer-lyricist, it's a hugely unexpected step, and one guaranteed to further solidify his reputation for bold innovation and superb craftsmanship. The 11-track collection features renditions of classic songs that came out of the Brill Building and is available September 25, 2012.
