Steppin' Out

One of the world's leading jazz vocalists Kurt Elling has cultivated a lasting partnership with the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra over the past decade, spanning a diverse repertoire encompassing the Great American Songbook, pop, rock, and beyond.

In this latest collaboration, directed by the jazz legend Tommy Smith, Elling showcases his virtuosity through a thoughtfully curated selection of songs drawn from Sinatra’s iconic albums, Basie and Ellington big band classics, enchanting show tunes, soul-stirring saxophone masterpieces by John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter, and 1980s pop hits by the Police and Joe Jackson, whose Steppin' Out gives this concert its title song.

The musical journey continues with the masterly fusion of Weather Report and Elling’s collaboration with the exceptionally talented guitarist Charlie Hunter in Superblue.
