Στην πρώτη τους συνεργασία, ο Αμερικανός τραγουδιστής Kurt Elling και ο Παναμέζος πιανίστας Danilo Perez, δυο ιδιαίτερα ενδιαφέροντες μουσικοί της σκηνής της jazz, βασίζονται κυρίως σε προϋπάρχον υλικό : κομμάτια των Wayne Shorter, Django Bates, Vince Mendoza, Jaco Pastorius [όπως τα δυο που ακούμε] κ.α, επενδυμένα με πρωτότυπους στίχους του τραγουδιστή.
On this, their first ever collaboration, American singer Kurt Elling and Panamanian piano player Danilo Perez, two mostly interesting musicians of the jazz scene, are based on pre-existing material : compositions by Wayne Shorter, Django Bates, Vince Mendoza, Jaco Pastorius [like the two we have here] with original lyrics by the singer.

Well, well! That was amazingly different. I thought of everyone from Frank Sinatra (at the very very beginning) to Bobby McFerrin, to Andy Williams, to a Broadway musical. In the end I hear music that is very unique.
These are definitely some of his basic influences. But he is cool in his own special way. And Danilo Perez is a superb piano player. I’ve seen him live with the Wayne Shorter group : mind – boggling experience.
How wonderful! So happy I went to many concerts and live music events. It seems a bit in the past now, for awhile.
