5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent album, May 17, 2001

Ryan (Johannesburg, South Africa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Letter To Evan (Audio CD)

I've had this album for several years now and am also familiar with Benoits earlier more "poppish" work. Letter to Evan is more mainstream oriented than most of his previous works. This however does not detract from what is truly a beautiful album. If you enjoyed "Waiting for Spring" you'll love this album, which I'd say is slightly more up tempo. I saw David Benoit live in London in 1996 and at the show (in a tiny club) he said that of all his compositions to that point, "Letter to Evan" was his favourite, and then he went on to play it. Live and in the flesh! A great musician and a very recommendable album.

By A Customer

This review is from: Letter To Evan (Audio CD)

Wouldn't it be wonderful if this genre of music were more widely disseminated. In my opinion this is Benoit at his finest. Bravo and encore, please!!

I am writing this in the hopes that David Benoit will read it. David: please, please, please give us, your fans, more of this music! For me, it is your crowning achievement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Rendition
To be able to put Bill Evans son Evan in your title you have to be very good indeed. Evan Evans never really knew his dad, so David does a tribute of sorts for Evan and the result... Read more

Letter to Evan is the best piece of music I've heard for a long time. I do not tire of listening to this man.

This CD was played during my son's birth. Even a new born baby loves this CD.

It's a shame this work is only available through the Amazon affiliates. Its a very nice work, as another reviewer said, similar to Waiting for Spring. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Weak offering by otherwise great artist.
After reading the other reviews, I had to write a review for this CD. I am a long time David Benoit fan, but I find this CD the least enjoyable Benoit CD that I own. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Letter to Evan
David Benoit did this Cd mainly for a friend, Bill Evans. He died while his son was about 16. Letter to Evan and Knit for Mary F. are Bill Evan's compostions. Read more
