Peter Evans Quartet: Live in Lisbon
by Troy Collins
Recorded at Portugal's Jazz em Agosto Festival in August of 2009, Live in Lisbon captures Peter Evans' longstanding quartet in concert, deconstructing a program of reconfigured standards--a regular feature of the New York-based trumpeter's oeuvre. Using classic American Songbook tunes as the basis for the quartet's freewheeling improvisations, Evans dismantles familiar melodies, harmonies and rhythms, rearranging ...

It is fun, no doubt; a wild fun, like going to a circus. But ...
Mostly Other People Do The Killing: Forty Fort
by Raul d'Gama Rose
