''Nightmoves'' is a 2007 jazz album by vocalist Kurt Elling. It was the first Elling album to be released by Concord Records. Critical reception ''The Penguin Guide to Jazz'' praised the album as "elegance itself...a record of graceful adventure, packed with unexpected items...Elling's at the top of his game. There's no better male singer around." Neil Tesser in ''The Chicago Reader'' wrote that Elling's album "brims with his best pure singing yet: he brings exuberant command to Betty Carter’s 'Tight' and focused restraint to a setting of the Whitman poem 'The Sleepers.' And on its many ballads his musicianship – intonation, dynamics, ornamentation – proudly challenges that of past pop and jazz giants."
