Kurt Elling's new release, 'Dedicated to You', delivers a tribute to the 1963 recording, 'John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman'.

Released on the Concord Jazz label, the album was recorded live at the 'Jazz at Lincoln Centre' complex in New York City.

Kurt Elling is supported by his regular trio, led by pianist Laurence Hobgood, and joined by tenor saxophonist Ernie Watts and a string quartet. 

Elling also tackles material that appeared on Ballads, the album John Coltrane released just prior to the vocal session with Johnny Hartman.
