Gate

The Gate is Elling's follow up to his Grammy Winning Dedicated to You, many naming it his strongest of albums and perhaps the finest of his career. Produced by Don Was (Rolling Stones, Bonnie Raitt, Bob Dylan), The Gate is a musical collection in which boundaries cease to exist, a sensibility enhanced by Was who had expressed the desire to work with Elling –an opportunity which Elling found irresistible.

Kurt Elling is among the world's foremost jazz vocalists. He has been named "Male Singer of the Year" by the Jazz Journalists Association on half a dozen occasions in the past ten years, and during the same interval has been the perennial winner of the DownBeat Critics Poll. He is also a Grammy winner (as mentioned with Dedicated to You), and every record he has made has been Grammy nominated.
