  • Description

    Steve Evans is a new name, a young vocalist who lives and works in Chicago with a different background to the average jazz singer. His manner of singing is completely different, too. As a boy soprano he spent his childhood singing in front of the congregation, and was then classically trained throughout his teens and groomed for the Opera. Until he discovered jazz. At The Berklee College of Music he was offered the opportunity to spend two years alongside celebrated jazz vocalist Kevin Mahogany as his chief instructor. After leaving Berklee Steve placed himself in the middle of Chicago’s thriving jazz scene and has been a mainstay ever since. In the already narrow field of male jazz vocalists Evans stands out. His choice of material, (Tom Waits, Nick Drake, Arto Lindsay, Van Morrison, Milton Nascimento, Benjamin Britten....) and tenor range along with strikingly original arrangements create a sound that is entirely unique. Steve Evans (vocals), Leandro Lopez Varady (piano), Jake Vinsel (bass), Noritaka Tanaka (drums). Tracks: Into Shade / Clap Hands / River Man / Lost Mind / Jockey Full Of Bourbon / There’s A Lull In My Life / Concierto de Aranjuez; The Way Young Lovers Do / Corpus Christi Carol / Things Behind The Sun / Soon It’s Gonna Rain / The Part You Throw Away / Ill Wind / Saidas e Bandieras / Fruit Tree / The Night We Called It A Day.
