The latest Kurt Elling is Auto-Tuned............
What makes you say that?
to recognize it because in the numerous times i have seen him, i cant say he sounded different from what's on this recording.

The voice "locks" onto notes, and inflections "warble" at pitch-perfect intervals.......... (I've heard this called "T-Pain Effect".) It's an effect I've noticed creeping into music starting around 1990 (maybe not Antares Auto Tune, but other pitch correction tools), and couldn't stand it, in most part. Only several years ago was it revealed to me what actually caused the effect.The link below is the revelatory post. Note this revelation made me stop bashing Elling for singing off-key. (In fact, I regret bashing him now.) For I had no idea such vocal correction was so widespread prior to the revelation. I often compared Elling to singers which I later found to be Auto-Tuned. Note that I've never mentioned "pitch correction" or "Auto Tune" prior to that linked post.
To give you an idea, I've never heard this effect with Lucinda Williams, Neko Case, older Kurt Elling, old U2, or any notable singer from a recording released prior to 1980.............
And two singers, Michael Buble and Renee Olstead, I personally mistook Auto-Tune for pitch-perfect singing. So I've even fallen for the trickery. (Although one of my audiophile friends couldn't stand Olstead, even when I liked her. And it turned out the Auto Tune was what he couldn't stand.)
Like Elling, I've heard a lot of older singers who initially did not use it go to the Dark Side, including Lionel Ritchie, Sting, and Barbra Streisand. (Streisand is maybe the only singer where Auto Tune was an improvement. But I prefer Elling without it.) I'm also starting to hear it applied "post-production" in re-releases of classic singers, most notably Frank Sinatra. (I'd avoid re-releases of any classic album, for a variety of reasons.) I've even heard it applied to violinists (Julia Fischer) and symphony orchestras.
In most cases, where the effect is present, I can pick it up during the first five seconds of singing in a track.
