Singers need contexts for their voices. For Kurt Elling, that search led to 2021's SuperBlue. On this second collaboration with the same players—guitarist/funkateer Charlie Hunter and a rhythm section of drummer Corey Fonville and keyboardist DJ Harrison—Elling has widened and deepened the sweet spot he found on SuperBlue. Recorded live in the studio by engineer Adrian Olson in Montrose Recording in Richmond, Virginia, The Iridescent Spree's loose synth funk imparts plenty of room for Elling to exercise his hipster urges proves to be a perfect vehicle for his talky chatter. Part of why this works so well is that Elling has learned the art of adding lyrics to music that was previously instrumental-only. That skill comes to an amazing pinnacle in the sad tale of prostitution he spins out in a version of Ornette Coleman's "Only the Lonely Woman" ("Once she was beloved/ No pauper/ She was somebody's daughter/ Ruin caught her unaware/ Now she cries heartache/ She's just a lonely woman/ Hollowed out despair." A related and very creative addition is his version of "Naughty Number Nine" from Schoolhouse Rock! (written by Bob Dorough, who was one of the few singers to ever appear on a Miles Davis album). Charlie Hunter's original "A Song for Karen Carpenter" appears as "Little Fairy Carpenter" with lyrics by Elling. Set to a slow beat, his deliberately sedated delivery, drawing out every word as his voice rises, gives the choruses a dreamy edge: "The hourglass sands / Have run through your hands/ Your deadline calls you to fold or expand." "Bounce," by innovative composer, drummer and Elling labelmate Nate Smith, here becomes the straight up math funk number "Bounce It," thanks to another set of the singer's lyrics that expertly conform to the angular rhythms of the tune: "Rim shot slap/ Spit and spank/ We dance 'n' dap/ And stank-a-lank/ And rank-a-tank." How Kurt got a groove on. © Robert Baird/Qobuz
