Bill Evans (Sax)

• DIGIPACK EDITION

The Cologne Stadtgarten venue was crammed that mid-February eve in 2011. A very special concert was scheduled for the night - the American saxophonist Bill Evans was in town to perform with the WDR Big Band.

The crowd's anticipation of a sublime live concert made the air crackle with excitement. The temperature was rising quickly and the vibe was getting better and better. Evans has always loved that sort of setting. The atmosphere created by the audience combined with the musicians being incredibly focused on what is about to unfold, it creates the perfect atmosphere that enables him to deliver a top performance on stage, performing on both tenor and soprano saxophone.
