Funkallero Music: Bill Evans Lyric: Karen Gallinger Been Lookin' for a word to say How I feel about today You see everything is cold and gray Nothing Seemin' to go my way This is such a funky attitude And I'm really in a * terrible mood Excuse me if I'm being rude I'm just feeling funkallero ... (Know what I mean?) When a word just doesn't fit I crawl down inside of it I Stretch it out a little bit Call on my prodigious wit And Tho' it makes some folks see red I just do it here inside of my head Think that I'll go back to bed You see I'm feeling funkallero... Know what I mean? * Alt: an execrable = A very Dark

Catch The Wind Music : Bill Evans Lyric: Karen Gallinger I'm alone here in the dark______ yet feel you near You still live on in my heart ___ A part of me I've often wondered what might have been But then I sense that you're here _____ you're always near Loss becomes a constant friend ___ The years go by Tho' your voice is still your song will never die I hear it in the wind that whispers Feel it in the rain remembered Your bells are silent now but I believe You'd be with us if you could catch the wind Coda: The stars are out now, but I still believe You'd be with us if you could catch the wind

We Will Meet Again Music : Bill Evans Lyric: Karen Gallinger When we were children you fought my battles Taught me patience, gave me courage Life was good then, you were with me Nothing could hurt us... we had each other Somehow I thought you would always be here Sharing my fears, drying my tears Laughing with me, in the darkness Now I'm alone ... I must be strong ( Alt: Now I'm the one ... who must be strong) Sometimes at night if I listen closely I can hear you, whisper softly You are with me, now and always You found peace now... you are free now Coda: So I will go on for I believe that we will meet again.

DAWN PRELUDES (org: Time Remembered ) Music : Bill Evans Lyric: Karen Gallinger Dawn______ I feel the sun begin to rise Hearing you sigh as you sleep here In my arms, feeling your heart beat The flutter of a bird, it sings to me of our new love. I watch you sleeping here, and gently touch your face. I kiss your lips and draw you near A prelude to our loving. Dawn ______ The sun proclaims the coming day. A secret smile as I watch you Shadows and daylight vying To touch your velvet skin. I gently reach to waken you Your golden flesh is warm, your sleepy eyes meet mine. We laugh out loud and greet the day A prelude to our living. Dawn ________ My heart envies the light (sun) it's touch. Daring not to reach my own hand My fear of waking you bearing witness to the Distance, sadly, now between us. I memorize your face, the last dawn we will share. This time will be remembered as A prelude to your leaving

about

Remembering Bill Evans is Karen Gallinger's third release on Sea Breeze Jazz. It is remarkable not only for the abilities of this gifted vocalist, but for the material itself. All of the songs, except "I Remember Bill" a beautiful tribute written by Don Sebesky, are Bill Evans' originals .
Thanks to the cooperation of the Bill Evans Estate, Ms. Gallinger assembled some very special material for this project, including previously unrecorded and unknown material. This is extremely challenging material, handled with sensitivity and intelligence by a singer with a voice hailed by critics as "astonishing" and "extraordinary".
Some Highlights: This is the debut recording of "Catch The Wind", a song Evans wrote but never recorded. The lyrics, written by Ms. Gallinger, are based on the history of the title as told to her by his widow, Nenette. Karen has also written lyrics for We Will Meet Again, Time Remembered (Dawn Preludes) and Funkallero.
The year 2000 marks the 20th anniversary of Bill's passing. "Remembering Bill Evans" is a beautiful and moving tribute by a truly gifted singer.
