[Harp-L] Kurt Elling "Nightmoves"

["jazmaan@xxxxxxxxxxx" <dmf273@xxxxxxxxx>]

Howard Levy is the guest soloist on the third cut of Kurt Elling's latest CD "Night Moves". 
Howard is featured on the tune "Change Partners (and Dance with Me)".

I used to be a Kurt Elling fan, but I didn't care much for "Nightmoves".  With the exception of
his cover of Betty Carter's "Tight", the CD just doesn't swing.   I guess Kurt is trying to appeal
to the "Smooth" jazz audience now, but the soporofic arrangement of "Change Partners" does benefit
somewhat from Howard's presence.
