Nature Boy with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.

Described by New York Times as 'the standout male jazz vocalist of our times', Kurt Elling's smooth four-octave baritone voice is matched only by his emotional range: from quietly crooned love songs to virtuosic vocal displayed. For multi-award winner and 2008 Grammy Award nominee, Elling, it's about communication. He says 'I want people to be surprised, to be moved, to laugh, to remember something important they may have forgotten, I want them to have what they need.'

  • @perezbermuda bwahahaha funny joke man. i mean, you're entitled to like the lesser version i guess, but come on man. Kurt is a once in a century musical phenomenon. Kobie Watkins journeys to a completely different universe in that solo. Jeez man, the whole Sydney Symphony Orchestra accompanied these guys, and you mean to tell me that some guy who lost American Idol plays a better version? That is truly a funny joke.

  • I taught Kurt Elling how to sing in choir in high school. Well, OK, I SAT next to him in choir. same thing.

  • i love how the string section in the background is soo bored :D

  • @beetleboy2 Dude, chill. This version, Cole's version, and Casey Abrams versions are my fav. I just really like this song to have sparse instruments and a creepy presence. But this version is badass too.
