Jazz at One: Orrin Evans
A prolific pianist, Orrin Evans has built a renowned career defined by his extensive sylistic range, blending swing, blues, and avant-garde influences. Acclaimed for pushing the envelope and a fierce independence — none of his 25 records were backed by a major label — Evans, who is also a composer and bandleader, explains himself best: “I like to stretch out. Wherever the music takes me, I’m going there.”
