'Evensong' is the third album from British award winning a cappella octet Voces8. The album sees the eight piece once again turn their attention to a selection of jazz and choral works, all re-arranged and re-interpreted in their own unique style. The single and title track 'Evensong', originally written by Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley as the theme to the BBC's Miss Marple series, is re-worked with new lyrics and sees Voces8 as a contender for the all important 2008 UK Christmas number one spot.
Released shortly after Tony Bennett's 80th birthday, 2006's Duets: An Amercian Classicfinds the beloved jazz/pop vocalist collaborating with an impressive array of friends and admirers. Amidst a backdrop of lush string and horn arrangements, Bennett, still in remarkably bold voice despite his age, shines on these winning tracks. Highlights include the buoyant "Lullaby of Broadway" (with the Dixie Chicks), the lightly swinging "I Wanna Be Around" (with U2's Bono), and a rendition of one of Bennett's smooth signature tunes, "The Best Is Yet to Come" (with Diana Krall).While duet albums can be spotty affairs, Bennett and his well-selected singing partners make this a thoroughly enjoyable set.
