Eve has assembled a dynamic group steeped in tradition. A stunning work of art presenting songs from her repertoire starting with BIG CITY, a reminiscence of Cannoball Adderley’s stellar arrangement. It draws from a wide musical landscape of standards, Eve’s original, UP HERE IN THE CITY, [conjuring up Eve’s memories of living and loving her daily life in NYC], Dinah Washington’s LONG JOHN BLUES, and concluding with a smoky rendition of SO MANY STARS by Sergio Mendes.
One of her ALL-TIME favorite performances was touring all over the world with Roy Hargrove and Chucho Valdez.
