Tenor sax titan Bill Evans is a force of jazz evolution – a player who emerged from the crucible of Miles Davis’ band and carved his own trail through funk, fusion, and beyond. With multiple Grammy nominations and a tone that can whisper or roar, Evans seamlessly bridges past and present, tradition and innovation. His collaborations stretch from Herbie Hancock to Willie Nelson to Peter Frampton, but it’s his own genre-bending projects – like Soulgrass and the Vansband All-Stars – that reveal the full range of his imagination. A saxophonist, bandleader, and fearless improviser, Bill Evans doesn’t follow the jazz map – he redraws it. With 27 solo CD’s to date and 80 shows a year in Europe with his own groups, this is a rare appearance in the USA.
