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. Orrin explains, 'In my eyes, Burno is now a Free Man . but with that freedom, we ve lost a great man right here on earth. So, there s still a blues we feel missing our brother and friend.' Simply put, the playing is inspired. Sean Jones and JD Allen are a brilliant pairing and it is hard to miss Bill Stewart s presence. Orrin says, 'Let me do something that people wouldn t expect, somethin that I wouldn t even expect. Listen . now is the time for Bill Stewart.' After mining the compositions of Paul Motian, Trudy Pitts, Miles Davis, and, of course, Orrin Evans, the night concludes with a memorable encore visit from Philadelphia vocalist Joanna Pascale for a sultry version of 'The Night has a Thousand Eyes.' Liberation Blues is available for purchase as an 8-panel CD-Deluxe Album complete with liner notes, interview and additional photos.
