I am the luckest man in this town, I work with the best people.
YVE EVANS what can I say..It has been almost twenty years since I heard her sing for the first time and she still amazes me with her glorious talent. She is one the only one I know that does all of her CDs live, and in one take.
That means that there are no tricks NOT EVEN A REMIX done in post production you hear Yve as she is and the music as it should be LIVE.
YOU WILL HEAR HER TALKING TO THE BAND...TELLING THEM WHO GETS A SOLO AND WHEN. SOME TIMES SHE WILL PICK TWO MEN TO DO ONE SOLO AND IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE THE WILL DIVIDE THE MUSIC AND NEVER MISS A BEAT. THEY ARE ALWAYS READY AT A MOMENTS NOTICE.

If you like Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Billie Holiday, Carmen McRae or Nat King Cole, YOU WILL LOVE YVE EVANS.

She's a singer, songwriter, bandleader, keyboardist, an entertainer and an actress.

Her music is like a "private party in a public place"

Take her home with you for the holidays.

You must hear Yve Evans.



Although not famous nationally yet, Yve Evans is an expressive, sometimes very humorous singer/pianist who has earned a small following playing around her adopted home of Los Angeles in the 1980s and 1990s. A native of EL Paso, TX, Evans was exposed to classical, gospel and pre-rock pop as a child and studied classical piano for 12 years while growing up. It wasn't until late adolescence that she seriously got into jazz and R&B. Evans has cited Sarah Vaughn, Carmen McRae, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, June Christie and Ethel Waters as some of her main influences, and she has also expressed great admiration for such R&B favorites as Ruth Brown, Roberta Flack, Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle. In fact, both gospel and the soul music of the 1960s and 1970s have had an impact on her full-bodied style of jazz singing. One of Evans' strong points has been her wild sense of humor--in fact, she can be downright goofy at times. But as much clowning as Evans has done on stage and in the studio, she can also be a very moving, sensitive and poignant interpreter of lyrics. Though primarily a vocalist, Evans is also an appealing, melodic pianist and has named Bill Evans, Dorothy Donegan, Erroll Garner and George Shearing as influences. CDs that Evans has on the Note-Worthy label include For Jaz C Me (1990), In A Sentimental Mood (1994) and the gospel-oriented The Gospel According To...Yve (1995).
