this was one of the best master classes I've witnessed! He is so generous, funny, and an amazing artist, and so articulate. I good go on and on. He was so respectful and helpful to these young singers. He wasn't afraid to totally point out where they needed guidance. Thank you Kurt.

I am a singer. I am a huge fan of Kurt Elling! This is awesome...and Im taking it all in. I havent found my "scat" yet, lol...but jazz standards, show tunes, cabaret..I love.
12 Keys School of Music for all musicians. I would never have had this exposure. Jazz improv was lost on my primary instrument but vocally I heard enjoyed it. So I thought I hated jazz until Kurt.
Oh how I was I could have seen this 15 years ago, I believe it would have ment a different path for me. Thanks for sharing this, I will pass this on to the students I have so they can profit from it and I will implement these golden tips for myself where I can.
I’m 40. I was classical clarinetist as a major. My heart wasn’t in it. It was in the music. I’m grateful for every chance to create music, or act, or even teach color guard. I always loved Bobby Mcferrin. All time favorite vocalist. Ella, Thornton, Etta, Mel Torme, and of course Frank. Before I walked away from from degree my senior year, I was lucky enough to hear Nature Boy by Kurt. I was immediately obsessed. So I stayed on top of all of his stuff. The Waking is probably my favorite. It just speaks to me. Here I am 40. With that same need to create music, but unsure how to use my training and ear and develop my own style and vocabulary. I kept trying to get a trio together. But I was putting the cart before the workhorse. I can’t move into Trane Changes with pitch accuracy. I can hear them after. But when I go for them I’m off and that just doesn’t work. But it’s because I’m not leading with my ears. I need to build some licks using slower tunes some patterns that get me back to where I need to be eventually. And practice with a piano and a metronome and record it. Same work ethic and heart, so I have the freedom. I need the vocabulary.
Me too. I loved his mentioning that even when yiu are being ignored, you are still working something out. I have played countless gigs like that and never mailed it in. For that exact reason. Very cool to have Kurt say that.

Harry Mullany I know I’m late to this post, but can you point me in a direction to perhaps a more appropriate jazz improv masterclass that is less heavy handed? Thanks in advance?

I really can’t thank you enough.
@@kennydreadfuls861 What a great self-analysis. I understand because I'm experiencing the exact same issues!

46:45 THE LICK!! We can't hide from it's presence.

Great Kurt Elling! Motific Development teached the same way as the great Richie Beirach is doing!
So we all heard the lick get quoted right?
I randomly skipped through and at 39:40 heard it, scrolled down and here you are 😂
❤
27:54 intuitive vs thinking
30:32 intuitive informed by compositional thinking
30:47 going slow improv, as slow as you need to, until you get the organization right, the perfect pitch pace gestures, everything perfect perfect
33:49 if you don't know, steal it.
develop a library in the mind, heart, and throat that can be unconsciously accessed
one thing in one song, is in 50 other songs
1:00:08 do not TELEGRAPH confusion.
1:04:04 t-s affirmation
what is the name of the song the first student sings? Dizzy?
in walked bud from Monk
The best advice if you wanna be a jazz singer study how Ella and Sarah sang it. Ditch the RnB inflection.
camera man fainted at 1:14:40 :c
39:41
THE LICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111
7:30 27
what song is it in 17:56 ???
Bye bye blackbird, it's a standard
NickMarshallMusic tq very
I searched for black bird
instead of bye bye black bird
tq anyway
Piano is too loud
This is a very heavy-handed approach by both pianist and mentor who like to dominate the proceedings. Their lack of sensitivity to the singers is

He's leading the session. WTF do you expect him to do?
