Vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Includes bonus track. 2017 holiday release. Kurt Elling is an American jazz vocalist, composer, lyricist and vocalese performer. He released multiple albums on Blue Note Records and has been nominated for ten Grammy Awards, winning Best Vocal Jazz Album for Dedicated to You in 2009.

The Beautiful Day is much more than a seasonal production. The album follows up his eclectic 2015 album, Passion World, and arrives on the heels of his collaboration with saxophonist Branford Marsalis, 2016's Upward Spiral. Elling applies his warm baritone to a set of thoughtfully curated traditional songs reworked in his own sophisticated, harmonically rich fashion. He has crafted an album that evokes the holiday spirit in all of it's wondrous complexity. The Beautiful Day contains a vinyl exclusive bonus track Jesu Joy Of Man's Desiring.
