Eva Cassidy - Autumn Leaves

This collection os a tribute to Eva Cassidy, the American singer, guitarist and arranger who died in 1996 at the tragically early age of 33. Thankfully her wonderful interpretations of jazz, folk, gospel, spiritual and comtemporary pop songs are now widely available as recordings.This collection of three songs are taken from the posthumously released anthology album Songbird. It was her version of Harold Arlens Over the Rainbow from the Wizard of Oz that made Cassidys name famous, and it couldnt be more different that Judy Garlands 1939 rendition. Her adaptaition of the 1947 classic Autumn Leaves seems to create a completely new song altogether. The final item in the collection is the up-beat spiritual Wade in the Water.
