About Bill Evans
Bill Evans is a world-class saxophonist, bandleader, and producer. He recorded and toured with Miles Davis between 1981 and 1985. Possessed of a taut, lyrical, funky/bluesy sound, his tenor tone is authoritative while his soprano's is reedy and assertive. He has appeared on hundreds of recordings -- including more than 30 of his own -- since his 1984 debut Living in the Crest of a Wave and 1985's The Alternative Man. 1994's Push received accolades for its wide stylistic ambition, from hip-hop to big-band swing. 2005's Soulgrass melded jazz-funk fusion and Americana and established a concept Evans' followed on 2006's The Other Side of Something and 2012's Dragonfly. 2016's Rise Above offered a more rock-oriented focus with many vocalists. 2019's The Sun Room showcased a supergroup with guitarist Robben Ford, bassist James Genus, and drummer Keith Carlock. 2022's follow-up, Common Ground, featured Darryl Jones in the bass chair.
