Nobody sounds quite like Paul Edis or transports you to the places he travels to with his meditative music. Having received unanimous critical acclaim for his last studio album, The Still Point Of The Turning World, Edis has immersed himself in the exquisite work of Bill Evans – widely considered to be the most important and influential pianist in the history of jazz. This very special show will feature the sublime voice of acclaimed San Franciscan singer, Noa Levy, who will be performing a selection of standards which were a vital part of Bill Evans’ repertoire.
