“In so many ways, it feels the same now when I play as the very first time I picked up the instrument. There's always this sound out there that's just a little bit beyond my reach and I'm trying to get there and that just sort of keeps me going. ”.....Bill Frisell

Minneapolis vocalist CONNIE EVINGSON has given us another superb interpretation of "Django Cover" music! As a result of a chance meeting with the Django band HOT CLUB OF SWEDEN (Gustav Lundgren/Andreas Oberg/Hampus Lundgren), Connie flew to Stockholm to record her latest release, STOCKHOLM SWEETNIN'(Minnehaha Music MM2007).
But the music is not all hot club titles, as evidenced by the title track, Quincy Jones' Stockholm Sweetnin'. The gypsy jazz genre is also applied to the music of Abbey Lincoln, Count Basie, Ram Ramirez and others, and the formula really works!
Connie Evingson is one of the most polished and versatile jazz vocalists on today's jazz scene, and Stockholm Sweetnin' further adds to her singing successes. My personal view is that this is her best work to date.
If you don't like Connie Evingson's STOCKHOLM SWEETNIN', sell your cd player!
