Synopsis

Product Description
On her eighth CD release, Little Did I Dream, vocalist Connie Evingson performs the songs of jazz great Dave Frishberg. With her usual flair for delving deep into a songbook, Evingson vividly inhabits all of the humor, hipster smarts and tender romanticism that earned Frishberg the title ASCAP Jazz Living Legend in June 2007. The 14 tracks on Little Did I Dream showcase Frishberg's breadth as a composer and Evingson's spot-on interpretive skills, from the beatnik cool Peel Me a Grape, to the swinging Zoot Walks In, to the wistful ballad You are There. Not only does Little Did I Dream possess Frishberg's imprimatur, the legendary jazz man plays piano on every track.
 

CD Reviews

Good tunes, good singing, good jazz
Jazz fan from New Jersey | Montclair, NJ USA | 03/21/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Little Did I Dream by Connie Evingson, her eighth commercial cd, is up to her usual high standards. Back from her detour into the realm of gypsy jazz, she again teams up with the excellent tenor sax player, Dave Karr, and with Dave Frishberg. While working with Frishberg is new for Connie, Dave Karr and Dave Frishberg have collaborated back when both were students at University of Minnesota. The result of this effort is well worth the listen. Connie's bouncy take on Little Did I Dream is wonderful. The wistful Eastwood Lane is another highlight. The two Dave's are given plenty of room for solos throughout the set, and they don't waste a note. This cd is a must have for anyone that likes good jazz."
A treat for the ears

"Wonderful synergy from two fine artists. Music from Frishberg ranging from pensive to clever and comedic; and the Evingson voice that knows how to make the music sparkle. I have played over and over, and never tire of this fine combination."
