Méva’s Journal is a fresh hard bop outfit in the Brisbane Jazz scene, modeled off of the late 50's/60's ‘hard bop’ ensembles.
The band is led by Evan J. Evans, a Brisbane drummer currently studying a Bachelor in Jazz performance at the Jazz Music Institute, who has written all the music for the band.
The music is based heavily in the early era of hard bop, taking heavy influence from more angular bebop composers like Thelonious Monk. The band features Tyger Middleton on Tenor Saxophone, Chris James on Alto Saxophone, Jordan Stitt on Piano and Alex Askew on Double Bass.
