"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..."

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 Django Reinhardt. I fell in love with the instrumentation and the Gypsy influence in the music, and although I realized the Hot Club genre is primarily an instrumental one, I was dying to sing with them. Thankfully, Pearl Django gave me that chance, as did Robb Henry and Parisota Hot Club and Sam Miltich's group, Clearwater Hot Club. Before long, I was in Hot Club Heaven! Hence this CD.
