Whether transforming timeless standards or crafting his own enthralling originals, ELLING balances elegant lyricism and technical mastery with emotional depth and keen observations into the human condition. He has garnered unprecedented accolades, including a 14-year run atop the DownBeat Critics Poll, a dozen GRAMMY® nominations, and eight Jazz Journalists Association Awards for “Male Singer of the Year.”
