Hot Club Swing in the style of Django Reinhardt (aka "gypsy jazz") with vocals. Backed by three different Hot Club groups: Pearl Django (Seattle), Parisota Hot Club (Minneapolis) and Clearwater Hot Club (Grand Rapids). Features Django originals.
Editorial review
A versatile singer with a warm voice and a quietly swinging style, Connie Evingson explores the usually instrumental Gypsy jazz style during this highly enjoyable project. On various selections she is joined by either Pearl Django, the Clearwater Hot Club, or the Parisota Hot Club, quartets that are sometimes augmented by accordion, vibes, drums, and/or percussion. She performs swing standards, Susannah McCorkle's lyrics to Django Reinhardt's "Nuages," and her own words to "Django's Premonition" (originally known as "Anouman"). The strong repertoire, the instrumental colors, and Evingson's voice are three reasons that Gypsy in My Soul is highly recommended. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
While working in Seattle with bass player Rick Leppanen a few years ago, I was introduced to his group Pearl Django and the music of guitarist Django Reinhardt. I fell in love with the instrumentation and the Gypsy influence in the music, and although I realized The Hot Club genre was primarily an instrumental one, I was dying to sing with them. Thankfully, Pearl Django gave me a chance, as did Robb Henry and the Parisota Hot Club and Sam Miltich's group, Clearwater Hot Club. Before long, I was in Hot Club Heaven! Hence this CD.
"With her own delicious sense of swing, silken
phrasing and sense of adventure, Evingson really
nails Django's spirit on 'Gypsy', rummaging
through his songbook (often with added lyrics) and
other tunes that fit the mood, from Ellington's
'Caravan' to Sting's 'Until' ...." - Rick Mason, City Pages
