This is the birthday of Monica Zetterlund (1937-2005). It may have been too long since you have seen the Swedish singer performing one of Bill Evans’ most beloved songs. We can help. She was taped in Copenhagen almost exactly 52 years ago when the Bill Evans Trio included bassist Eddie Gomez and the Danish drummer Alex Riel.
Ms. Zetterlund achieved considerable fame as an actress. This clip reminds us of her achievement as a vocal artist with pronounced dramatic and musical qualities.
