William John Evans, known as Bill Evans (pronunciation: /ˈɛvəns/, August 16, 1929 – September 15, 1980), was an American jazz pianist and composer who mostly worked in a trio setting. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time, and is considered by some to have been the most influential post-World War II jazz pianist. Evans's use of impressionist harmony, inventive interpretation of traditional jazz repertoire, block chords, and trademark rhythmically independent, "singing" melodic lines continue to influence jazz pianists today. Unlike many other jazz musicians of his time, Evans never embraced new movements like jazz fusion or free jazz.
This is a wonderful collection of recorded songs and TV performances of the UK legend that is Cilla Black! Burt Bacharach praised her singing for the emotion she portrayed in many of his songs. Cilla's voice was, and still is, powerful and emotional. To this day she remains the biggest selling UK female singer of the 1960's. She has still sold more records in the UK than Madonna! Listen to this and you will understand why!
