"Movie Songs" launch and dates

November is peak season here on the Toronto jazz scene, and a major part of the Fall excitement for us at M-Swing has been our collaboration with Maximum Jazz in the top ten jazz compilation “Here Come The Boys: a Canadian Crooner Collection.” The success of which has inspired an immediate follow-up in George Evans own new disc, “Movie Songs,” Set to hit store shelves nationwide on November 16th, we are promoting “Movie Songs” with a growing series of performances both here and across the country. Below are the latest, including not one but two dates in Toronto venues this week, including a Nancy Walker trio date at Revival on Tuesday, November 9th. Not to be missed!

West Coast Dates

It has been a couple seasons since George played Vancouver, and we are very excited to announce his return. With the launch of "Movie Songs" just around the corner, we are booking a series of west coast appearances in December. Look for George Evans to appear at the Cellar in Vancouver on Saturday, December 4th, and in west coast based national media, and local media that week. The good folks at Maximum are on board and other dates are in the works. We will be keeping you posted as to where you can hear George in your area in the next edition of M-Swing News.

New Jazz Beat session set to air

Coming up mid-month, just two days before the launch of "Movie Songs" on Sunday, November the 14th is the broadcast of a studio session from Toronto in which George Evans is featured along side Nancy Walker on piano, Reg Schwager on guitar, Neil Swainson on bass, and Archie Alleyne on drums. Recorded in April 2004 after an exciting week at the Senator, the session will feature a tasty selection of songs not previously recorded by George. Jazz Beat has twice in the past recorded George's group. Those sessions can be found on "I'm All Smiles," the second album release from M-Swing Music, and there currently is interest in doing the same with these recordings for a potential album release in 2005.
