Episode Synopsis
Pianist Orrin Evans has built a career defined by fearless exploration and boundless creativity, a journey that began with his 1996 debut Just In Time and continues with his 20th release, Magic of Now. Captured live at Smoke Jazz Club, the album features a powerhouse quartet—including Bill Stewart, Vicente Archer, and Immanuel Wilkins—delivering spontaneous, deeply connected modern jazz. Known for his dynamic touch and bold stylistic range, Evans blends blues, swing, spiritual jazz, and avant-garde with the precision of a master and the soul of an improviser. Whether leading small groups or his Grammy-nominated Captain Black Big Band, Evans creates spaces of “structured freedom,” always pushing the music forward.
