Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day

Artist:Bill Evans
Song:My Romance/Five
Album:Turn Out The Stars:The Final Village Vanguard Recordings




When Bill Evans came on to the jazz scene in the mid-50s, he was somewhat unique because of his classical piano training. It actually made him more accessible to some audiences and he was still influential on many musicians. These live recordings were made a few weeks before Evans died at age 51 in 1980. The tapes sat around for 15 years until Warner Bros. issued them in a massive 6CD box set. There's also a more modest single CD available. Though not as well known as Evans' earlier recordings, they will be of interest to his fans.
