Orrin Evans Liberation Blues

Orrin Evans - pianist, bandleader and notorious musical catalyst - is a bona fide, jazz original. Brimming with music and ideas, Orrin’s "Liberation Blues" debuts one of his most impressive projects yet, a new quintet lineup that includes Sean Jones, JD Allen, Luques Curtis, and Bill Stewart. The recording, made live at Smoke Jazz Club in New York City, occurred immediately following the passing of bassist Dwayne Burno, and the opening selections comprise the "Liberation Blues Suite" dedicated to his memory.
