First I'd like to thank Note-Worthy Music for having the faith and foresight to sponsor the recording of this artist who I believe is destined for greatness.

Yve Evans is the type of artist that personal manager / executive producers dream of. She is articulate, witty, and knows her music. She keeps her fingers on the piano and on the pulse of Her aduience aswell.

She not only composes, arranges, and directs the band, but puts Her signature on every part of the performance.

I think of Her as well rounded (musically of course...)

W.Prince Moore
Excitive Producer

PS: Completing this project is worth every gray hair i've gotten over the past five years...

so please buy this CD..........hair dye is expensive


Although not famous nationally, Yve Evans is an expressive, sometimes very humorous singer/pianist who has earned a way too 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). ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide



YVE EVANS
To label Yve Evans as merely an astonishing Jazz and Scat-singing talent wouldn't be fair as we've personally experienced Yve do it all! Not only that, she plays piano like it's an extension of her spirit. Altogether, Yve is a powerful performer who deserves a listening by music lovers of all genres.
"4 JAZ C ME" (taken from her license plate bearing the same acronym) was recorded live to digital here at Theta Sound with Randy Tobin guiding the wonderful blend of sounds into the final stereo mix. The CD/cassette features Yve on piano and vocals performing solo, duo with bassist Michael Saucier and in trio with drummer Earl Palmer. The album covers the spectrum from hot & sassy (I'm Beginning to See the Light) to slow captivation (Someone That I Used to Love).

"4 JAZ C ME" was produced by Yve Evans, W. Prince Moore and Randy Tobin.
