Symeon Cosburn is one of the major young male jazz singing & song writing talents in London at this time. Influences include Mel Tormé, Chet Baker, Mark Murphy, Carmen McRae and of course Ella Fitzgerald; in addition to UK based artists such as Liane Carroll, Ian Shaw & Claire Martin.

Symeons own brand of jazz is a healthy mix of bebop, swing, gospel groove & latin beats, and prefers to resurrect lesser-known standards along with modern classics & his own originals. Coupled with his improvisation and effortless ability to swing, he loves rhythmically manipulating the songs of his repertoire whether it be his own compositions or those of the great songwriters of yesteryear.

Symeons artistic personality led him into a few varied jobs before becoming a jazz singer, which included freelance graphic design. He spent his free time training himself as a dancer from around the age of 19, and then a little later as a singer, which led him on to seasonal cabaret work abroad – the jazz was to come much later.

Known to Americans most for her belting rendition of the theme to Goldfinger, the 1964 edition in the James Bond series (as well as 1971's Diamonds Are Forever and 1979's Moonraker), Shirley Bassey was one of the most popular female vocalists in Britain during the last half of the 20th century. Known as Bassey the Belter and also the Tigress of Tiger Bay, her early career in touring shows and cabaret brought her a recording contract with Philips by the late '50s. After reaching the top of the British charts in 1959 with "As I Love You" and later "Reach for the Stars/Climb Every Mountain," Bassey was tapped to swing the theme song to the third James Bond vehicle. Her voice, brassy and sexy, conveyed the James Bond myth perfectly and became a big hit in America. Though later chart placings in the U.S. were few, she continued to do well in Great Britain, France and the Netherlands into the mid-'70s.

Evangeline was a 1981 album by Emmylou Harris that was composed mostly of leftover material from past recording sessions and which did not fit into any of her other albums. Songs included a remake of "Mister Sandman" (from the ill-fated Trio sessions with Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt), "Evangeline", which she had previously performed with The Band, Rodney Crowell's "Ashes By Now", and a cover of John Fogerty's "Bad Moon Rising".

Though it received mixed reviews upon its release, the album was yet another commercial success for Harris. It was certified Gold in less than a year after its release. A single release of "Mister Sandman" (Top 10 country/Top 40 pop) did well on the charts, though neither Ronstadt's nor Parton's record companies would allow their artists' vocals to be used on the single, so Harris rerecorded the song, singing all three parts for the single release. The album is one of two Harris albums that have never been issued on CD. The other album is Thirteen. ~palmerthirteen/Norway
