Evan Christopher's Django a la Creole: Finesse
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The epithet “flawless technique" does not even begin to describe Evan Christopher's manner of playing, perhaps, the most challenging reed instrument: the clarinet.

His rhythmic attack is so full of surprise, especially when he ...
Heard Evan Christopher Yet? (PT. 2)
Part one of Twin Cities-based writer Pamela Espeland's conversation with the kinetic New Orleans-based clarinetist Evan Christopher left off with the artist commenting on his jazz education in his native California and his earlier leanings towards perhaps--tongue-in-cheek--qualifying for a spot in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. So now you are known as a New Orleans-style, Creole-style clarinetist. ...

Lejazzetal: A Collision of Cultures with Jazz
by Raul d'Gama Rose
There are those who might call Dave Kelbie a dreamer, wearing somewhat the John Lennon persona in “Imagine." After all he forms Lejazzetal, a London-based artist's collaborative work-in-progress that promotes live jazz, conjures up the spirit of Basin Street wherever in the world a (Lejazzetal) concert may happen to create a scene--from London and Paris to ...

In what might be seen as a positive aftermath of the Katrina disaster in 2005, Christopher temporarily relocated to Paris, focusing his actions on raising awareness for the musical culture that had put New Orleans ...
