Orrin Evans: Meant to Shine

Read "Meant to Shine" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

Evans’ vision on this recording owes a great deal to Miles Davis’ second great quintet and the post John Coltrane period in jazz. This current ...

Orrin Evans and Seed: Seed

by Mark Corroto
February 1, 2001

The sound of Orrin Evans’ piano is restless. His latest trio, Seed, features original compositions that have an unsettled quality. Like Horace Tapscott’s explorations of the 1970’s or Andrew Hill in the 1960’s, this band pushes an expansive enthusiasm for new jazz. Evans keyboard work reminds me of a very propulsive Thelonious Monk mixed with the ...
