Blast from the past

Thought I'd post something in anticipation of Kurt Elling heading to our shores. I've been listening to him since about 13.

At the age of 16 I performed "In The Winelight" at our national jazz competition in Tauranga which was judged by Tom Warrington, Joe La Barbera and Larry Koonse. I was lucky enough to receive the "Most Outstanding Musician" award that year.



"In The Winelight" is a tune written by Grover Washington. Kurt Elling wrote lyrics to it and recorded it on his 5th studio album "Man In The Air".
