GEORGE EVANS AT MONTREAL'S NEW HOT-SPOT OCTOBER 19th
Canadian jazz vocalist George Evans makes a welcome return to the Montreal
club scene in a rare appearance Friday, October 19th at DIESE ONZE (4115-A
St Denis, Montreal, QC - 514-223-3543 - http://www.dieseonze.com/
), the newest hot-spot in the hip and swinging Plateau entertainment
district. A multi-award-nominated jazz artist, Evans has six albums
to his credit, including "Bewitched," his critically-praised 2006 release.
Touring in support of "Bewitched" did not include a
stop in Montreal, but with the addition of DIESE ONZE to the city's
active club scene, Evans believes he'll be able to appear back home
in Montreal with greater frequency.
Evans brings with him from Toronto, as his very special
guest, an artist new to the Montreal scene. Guitarist Lee Wallace
has been making a name for himself these past seasons as a musician
of considerable skill and integrity. With graceful, fluid lines and
a remarkable ability to arrange on the fly, Wallace distinguishes
himself as a true musical descendent of his famous father, renowned
Canadian bassist Steve Wallace. Lee makes his Montreal jazz debut
on this unusual engagement, playing in trio with two of the city's
stalwart young lions, Morgan Moore on bass, and the popular Jim Doxas
on drums.
George first thrilled Toronto jazz audiences in 1999
when he launched his second album "I'm All Smiles" at the Top o' the
Senator. He went on to appear there with regularity through the launch
of his fifth album "Movie Songs' in 2005. Over the years George became
familiar to audiences at home through frequent appearances on TVO,
Bravo, and CoolTV, and through his many sessions and concerts for
the CBC. George Evans was the founding member of The Three Crooners,
and in 2004 he selected, sequenced, and produced the successful "Here
Come The Boys: a Canadian Crooner Collection" for Maximum Jazz and
Universal Music Canada.
Since surfacing in Montreal in the early-1990s, George
Evans has become one of the foremost interpreters of jazz and standards
on the Canadian jazz vocal scene. Nominated National Jazz Awards Vocalist
of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, and Ontario Independent Music
Awards Jazz Artist of the Year, Evans has been celebrated diversely
as "a ballad's best friend" by All-Canadian Jazz Festival, and "an
agile voice and always swinging" by the National Post. George tours
actively across Canada, and has been praised for lively, polished
performances in major clubs in cities such as Montreal, Toronto, and
Vancouver. He has recorded a current total of six projects as a leader,
and his current album, "Bewitched" can be heard on all the major jazz
outlets.
