EVANS BILL / ZETTERLUND MONICA - VINYL WALTZ FOR DEBBY [VINYL]

Popis - WALTZ FOR DEBBY [VINYL]:
The inventive jazz pianist and noted Miles Davis collaborator Bill Evans made lasting impact from the mid-1950s. After a New
Jersey childhood disrupted by his father's alcoholism, Evans obtained a scholarship to study composition in Louisiana.
Arrivinging in New York in the '50s, he began working with the composer and multi-instrumentalist, George Russell, releasing
his debut solo album, 'New Jazz Conceptions', in 1956. Evans' true breakthrough came through his membership of Miles
Davis' sextet, where his intense and melodic playing helped make 'Kind Of Blue' an outstanding landmark, during a time
when he was also contributing to Chet Baker's self-titled LP. Following collaborations with Cannonball Adderley, Shelley
Manne and Gary McFarlane, the 1964 Swedish release 'Waltz For Debby' saw Evans backing Swedish actress and
vocalist Monica Zetterlund on a lovely collection of cool, smooth jazz ballads. Zetterlund's quietly soaring vocals add
a stunning melodic contrast to Evans' playing, helped along by understated rhythmic work from bassist Chuck Israels and
drummer Larry Bunker.
