“This is an absolute must-see for me! I was lucky enough to catch Kurt Elling and the Yellowjackets doing their Weather Report set at the Jazzaldia Jazz Festival in San Sebastián back in July, and it was hands-down one of the best gigs of the whole week. Their performance in the Plaza de Trinidad was electrifying — Kurt’s voice soaring over the Yellowjackets’ powerhouse grooves had the whole crowd on their feet. I can’t wait to see them bring it to Cadogan Hall for this year’s EFG London Jazz Festival — it’s going to be a real treat.”
