Evans performs  the greatest Italian and international standards by Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irvin Berlin, Kurt Weill. Songs that have become immortal, and some of the most celebrated music created for Broadway and Hollywood, are reinterpreted by a highly skilled trio of musicians who accompany Evans’ seductive baritone voice on a journey that is both exciting and inspiring. Songs like Volare, or Quando Quando Quando become part of a story where music and the spoken word join to offer pure entertainment. The musical interpretation of Smile, Besame Mucho, What a Wonderful World will make you want to stand on your feet and sing along just as the lively rhythms of Tu vuo’ fa’ l’Americano and It’s only a Paper Moon will make you call for more.
