Symbiosis - Tribute to Bill Evans

The Singapore Symphony Orchestra, the Thomas Clausen Trio, and Jean Thorel present "Symbiosis – Tribute to Bill Evans," a remarkable album that honors the enduring legacy of one of jazz’s greatest pianists. The album contains three extraordinary works, beginning with Palle Mikkelborg’s "Bill Evans Suite" (1969), which reinterprets Evans’ classics such as "Waltz for Debby" and "Time Remembered." It is followed by Thomas Clausen’s deeply personal "For Pi," a tender jazz ballad imbued with Evans’ spirit, orchestrated for strings and trio, heartbreakingly beautiful thanks to Anders Malta’s gentle trumpet, and Claus Ogerman’s "Symbiosis," newly arranged here for the first time for a full live concert. "Symbiosis – Tribute to Bill Evans" was recorded live with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra and offers a vibrant, contemporary perspective on Evans’ timeless influence, where intimacy, sophistication, and orchestral grandeur merge. This album once again demonstrates the orchestra's versatility, following the acclaimed albums "Mozart: Violin Concertos" (2025), "Butterfly Lovers & Paganini" (2024), "Kozłowski: Requiem" (2024), and "Vivaldi: Four Seasons & Locatelli: Harmonic Labyrinth" (2023).
