LP version. Peter Evans makes his We Jazz Records debut with Extra. The band formation includes Evans on trumpet, Petter Eldh (Koma Saxo/Post Koma) on bass and Jim Black on drums. Peter Evans, an acclaimed trumpet player, improvisor, and composer based in New York City presents a gutsy new band that gets right to work with his eight new compositions. Extra was recorded at the iconic Namouche Studio in Lisbon and it has a feeling of a session where all musicians are pushing for the new together with great excitement. Both Eldh and Black are long-time collaborators of Evans, and every ounce of Extra brims with musical joy of togetherness and new discovery. Comprised of eight Evans originals, the album is a firecracker set off from the first beats of album opener "Freaks". While Peter Evans is often lauded for his remarkable technical prowess, he is first and foremost serving his broader musical vision at all times. That is, the remarkable musical ability of the trio doesn't outshine how together the unit is in realizing the music at hand. The strong rhythmic base of Eldh and Black allows for Evans to push his compositions to their limits and for the band to find new avenues of expression together while doing so. Tracks like "Freaks", "In See" and "Boom" are full on forward-looking fire music with more heat than a sunny day in Lisbon, while "Movement 56" and "The Lighthouse" flip the script in ways that stun and surprise like an alleyway you only discovered after taking a couple of left turns far away from the high street. This is effortless creative music by a band that's comfortable together while pushing each other forward at all times.
