"One At A Time" Digital Release:

[January 2011] Recent numbers confirm that the our highest selling title two years running is the 2007 ballad compilation "One At A Time." Thanks to all who have added it to their iPod. Check it out now on iTunes.
"Live at the Cellar" finally coming to disc and digital:

[June 2008] This previously unreleased live recording from May of 2006 is now available in a special Limited Edition pressing. The inadvertent destruction of recordings from the first night meant there would be no source material for alternate takes, and so we held the recording back. Nonetheless, we've chosen now to bring it to you in recognition of a remarkable west-coast night in the midst of the "Bewitched" album tour. Recorded live at the Cellar in Vancouver, this highly swinging program consists of traditional pop standards, played with few restrictions before a very live audience. Since only this recording exists, what you'll hear is exactly what went down in the second set, at 10:30 pm on Saturday, May 13th, 2006. Almost as good as being there, but with no cover, no minimum, and no hangover!
"Brainless errors" department:

[January 2008] If you have searched George Evans CD titles online or at retail in the last year you will have come across a spate of interesting titles, including "There Comes A Time", "Plays Jimi Hendrix" and several others. Due to a brainless data entry error by the former distributor of these CD re-issues, the late great "Gil Evans" is databased as "George Evans." After months of trying to make contact with the distributor in question, the catalog changed hands, and we finally tracked down the person responsible for data entry at the new one-stop distributor. Clearly they would prefer that the valuable Gil Evans catalog be properly marketed, and so little by little, the Internet will show a correction in this bad data in the months (perhaps years) to come. See what can happen when non-jazz-friendly companies market this music?
iTunes Christmas Update:

[December 2007] Four titles in the M-Swing catalog, "Bewitched", "Movie Songs", "Eyes For You", and "From Moment To Moment" have been selling online thrugh iTunes and several other digital storefronts since September 2007. We're pleased to announce that not only are two further titles "I'm All Smiles" and "Moodswing" on their way to iTunes just after the holidays, with enhanced artwork and bonus tracks, but the previously announced "One At A Time: the ballad collection" is also headed to iTunes for your listening pleasure. Look for these titles to appear as soon as the database is refreshed, either sometime around the holidays, or just into the New Year. Merry Christmas!
The Full M-Swing Catalogue Coming To iTunes:

[September 2007] What took us so long? Frankly, we have no good answer for that, except that George himself is very old-school when it comes to collecting hard-copy music products, and would probably be more passionate about releasing the M-Swing catalogue on vinyl than digital. That said, we have finally managed to twist his arm and let those fans who now buy digitally collect his albums in digital formats for their listening pleasure. Look for all of George's titles to appear on iTunes in the weeks to come.
"One At A Time: the ballad collection" Coming To iTunes:

[August 2007] The best of ballads from George Evans' commercial releases coming to iTunes as a digital-only collection for first-time listeners and fans alike. 14 carefully selected and sequenced performances will set a mood for your intimate passtimes. Look for "One At A Time: the ballad collection" on iTunes this Fall.
"Bewitched" Is Here:

[May 2006] After considerable time in development and production, the new George Evans album, "Bewitched" has arrived. Featuring tracks from three record dates, and a session with strings on four tracks (made possible through a generous contribution by Richard Marroni and Cablek in Montréal.) "Bewitched" is available now online at georgeevans.ca, and will be in stores soon.
"Bewitched" Update:

[Nov 2005] As the release date approaches, M-Swing is pleased to announce that "Bewitched" [MSW-G028] will be the first George Evans album to feature (on three tracks) strings, as arranged by Rick Wilkins, one of Canada's great jazz orchestrators. Slated for release in the new year, "Bewitched" will compile a number of songs newly recorded, several from the 2004 CBC Jazz Beat session, and will present for the first time, two spectacular string-arranged ballads from the 2002 sessions that yielded "Eyes For You" with the late Jerry Fuller on drums.
M-Swing signs with Festival Distribution:

[July 25] M-Swing Music is pleased to announce that we have agreed to a deal with Festival in Vancouver for distribution of all four Indie titles in the M-Swing back catalogue. Festival takes over the reigns from Distribution Fusion III in Montréal (who handled the first two George Evans solo releases) making available for the first time at retail the critically acclaimed albums "Eyes For You" and "From Moment To Moment."
Canadian Distribution:

[June 2005] With the advent of a new item in the M-Swing catalogue coming for Fall 2005, we are currently in talks with Canadian firms with a view to having them assume distribution of all five independent George Evans M-Swing titles. This would make available for the first time in stores George's critically praised albums from 2001 and 2002, as well as the forthcoming "Bewitched." Watch for an announcement shortly.
"Bewitched" is next in line for release:

[April 2005] M-Swing Music is preparing the recent George Evans CBC Radio Jazz Beat session for a commercial release. Conceived as a 12-track album project, "Bewitched" will contain several of the original eight selections recorded for Jazz Beat in 2004, and more. M-Swing will soon announce a release date for this charming disc, a mix of standards and rarities that fans of the music of George Evans will be sure to enjoy.
"Movie Songs" is here:

[October 2004] We are pleased to announce that the latest George Evans album, "Movie Songs" is currently available to retailers across the country through Universal Music Canada for a street date of November 16th. The album, which from recording to design was produced fully in Montréal, is comprised of songs either written for, featured in, or associated with 12 classic motion pictures. Fans of old movies and fans of jazz alike will enjoy "Movie Songs," the exciting new collection from M-Swing Music and Maximum Jazz.
Here Come The Boys:

[June 2004] The highly anticipated collection of Canadian male jazz vocalists produced by M-Swing for Maximum Jazz will be available in time for festival season. In stores on July the 6th, look for "Here Come The Boys" to appear along with the artists on the disc performing at jazz festivals across Canada in late June. Retail order deadline is June 17 [Cat: MAX-15602]
George plans two new studio releases:

[May 2004] The 2003-2004 season tour of "Jazz at the Movies" set the wheels in motion for "Movie Songs," a new studio project comprised of material developed in a concert setting. This project, expanded with horns, will be ready to press in the Fall of 2004. On the other side of development, George and his Toronto quartet were captured in session for CBC's Jazz Beat in May of 2004 after a Spring run at the Top o' the Senator. Once the session airs, the recordings will be in the clear, and you can look for this to emerge as an album in 2005.

Rodgers "featured" on future release:

After touring the Richard Rodgers concert presentation "A Jazz Portrait," George was delighted to commmit 6 of the show charts to tape in June of 2002 (with Jerry Fuller on drums.) As with the trio of Porter tunes on "Eyes," listeners can expect these tracks to surface on the next M-Swing release.
M-Swing Produces Canadian Male Vocal Compilation:

[September 2003] This season marks the beginning of an exciting new direction for the M-Swing Records, as we are producing a first ever multi-artist release. George Evans is himself programming and producing the disc, a compilation of Canadian male vocalists, for release in Canada through a major multi-national distributor. More to follow.
