The New York Times called Elling “the standout male jazz vocalist of our time.” The Guardian (UK) pronounced him “a kind of Sinatra with superpowers.” Over a twenty-five-year career of touring and recording, Elling has won three Prix du Jazz Vocal (France), two German Echo Awards, and two Dutch Edison Awards. He has had a 14-year run atop the DownBeat Critics and Readers polls, and has won twelve Jazz Journalists awards for “Male Vocalist of the Year.”
