About
Across 20 albums as bandleader, including eight self-issued albums on his Imani imprint, pianist Orrin Evans has showcased an authoritative mastery of his instrument and deep assimilation of the fundamentals. A deft tune deconstructor, he traverses a broad timeline of the vocabularies of swinging, blues-infused hardcore jazz and spiritual jazz/avant garde jazz traditions, as well as the Euro-canon, with the intuitive spontaneity of an ear player.
