After starting out with trad jazz, she formed her own band in 1981 singing R'n'B, swing and other music with a rhythmic drive. When she graduated from university with an M.A. in linguistics, she was already established as a singer and a theater actress and performed with musicians like Benny Bailey, Al Grey and Buddy Tate. Also in the 80s she managed her own Munich jazz club, "Jenny's Place," and apart from appearing at festivals all over Europe, also toured Japan and Russia. Jenny Evans has performed in many theater and TV productions, often cast in roles where a singing actress (or a singer who can act) is needed. A wonderful entertainer, Evans always keeps the audience in full swing - which is why she chose a live situation at Munich's "Unterfahrt" for this recording. Jenny Evans has it all: a charming, well-trained voice, an outstanding harmonic sense, improvisatory talent, pitch-perfect intonation and a simply miraculous timing. In her version of "The Man I Love," she handles the melody and the time in a way that is probably unmatched since Ella Fitzgerald's and Anita O'Day's great days. Another nearly incredible example of her timing is "Fⁿr eine Nacht voller Seligkeit" which can be described as an advanced study in singing behind the beat. Able to put her own personal touch to all kinds of songs, Evans shines in this German evergreen as well as in Oriental, Balkan or Latin modes or a classic Broadway torch song. In fact, she presents three sets of her original lyrics here written for tunes by Dusko Goykovich and Rabih Abou-Khalil which are evidently influenced by non-jazz traditions. Says Evans: "For me the most important change in jazz is the infiltration of influences from outside America. Jazz has become world music." Enjoy... Thx To Support Artists! If You Like It !
