guitarAbout
A recent graduate of UC Berkeley and former student of Myra Melford and Brian Pardo, Roger Kim describes his music as swinging and contemplative, an expressive music that likes to “ask questions, take journeys, and describe sentiments.” The Filipino American guitarist Karl Evangelista, former student of Myra Melford and graduate of the MA program at Mills College, is a fresh new voice in the Bay Area jazz scene, exploring an improvisational aesthetic that blends jazz, rock, western art music, contemporary sound and “noise” based art, and Filipino folk melody into a unique amalgamation of sounds reflecting his own life experience.
