Monica Zetterlund (w/Bill Evans) - It Could Happen To You (Album Version) (1964). Monica Zetterlund with Bill Evans Trio "Waltz for Debby".

Waltz for Debby is a 1964 album in English and Swedish by the American jazz pianist Bill Evans and the Swedish singer Monica Zetterlund. It was reissued by Verve Records in 2006. Evans' lyricism is well suited to a breezy, sophisticated songstress like Monica Zetterlund

An oddity in Bill Evans' catalog, this 1964 date places the Swedish jazz vocalist Monica Zetterlund alongside the Evans Trio (with Chuck Israels on bass and Larry Bunker on drums). Still, the match is seemingly perfect. Evans' lyricism is well suited to a breezy, sophisticated songstress like Zetterlund. There is an iciness on this recording, but it is difficult to decipher if it is in the performance or in the engineering where she seems to be way out in front of the band, when she was really in the middle of all the musicians in the studio

The collaboration with Bill Evans was a pure miracle and ‘Waltz for Debby’ is one of those great classics of cool. There are times when I wish that the past, even when it is lost, is not lost forever, and this is a small effort to bring it back. In her own sweet world Populated by dolls and clowns and a prince and a big purple bear. Regrettably the embedding for the upload was disabled, so you will have to watch it directly on Youtube where you cannot follow the lyrics. Chuck Israels is looking for founding of an album of Bill’s music recorded by Chuck’s band in Portland, OR. If you want more info I can send it to you. You can contribute as little or as much as you want and get a copy of the music when it’s released.
