With the demands on Kurt Elling's time such that he's touring the world, it's Alfonso Ponticelli and Swing Gitan, one of the best gypsy jazz bands in the city, that holds down the Wednesday residency at Green Mill. Ponticelli has a good sense of humor, as you'll see here when he references Scorpions and Led Zeppelin in this version of "Harlem Nocturne."
