Kurt Elling, one of jazz's most influential and forward-thinking vocalists, returns with Wildflowers, Vol. 2 an inspired fusion of creativity and spontaneity. This five-track album showcases his collaboration with long-time friend and pianist Joey Calderazzo, along with the highly acclaimed trumpeter and composer Ingrid Jensen. In this second collection of impromptu recordings, Elling demonstrates a remarkable fluidity, surprising even himself with the rapid flow of his artistic expression, all while seeking authenticity in a world full of noise.
Described as a "Sinatra with superpowers" by The New York Times, Elling’s rich baritone effortlessly blends jazz tradition with modern innovation. His fearless improvisational style allows him to tap into the emotional core of each song, revealing his extraordinary range and virtuosity.
Following the unexpected release of Wildflowers, Vol. 1 in late August—a spontaneous snapshot of musical creativity—Vol. 2 continues the journey. By teaming up with Calderazzo (known for his work with Michael Brecker, Dave Holland, and Branford Marsalis), Elling creates a dynamic synergy, embracing a raw, stripped-down sound that is both vibrant and deeply resonant. These releases mark a shift from his Grammy-nominated, funk-infused SuperBlue project, showcasing Elling’s aspiration to explore a more intimate musical landscape.
Wildflowers, Vol. 2 offers a window into Elling’s evolving artistry, highlighting how modern technology can amplify creativity without compromising artistic control. The result is a collection that feels both familiar and distinctly Kurt Elling—always pushing boundaries, always inviting listeners into new and exhilarating sonic experiences.

1 Lost in the Stars
