New York based jazz bari player Charles Evans combines consummately all the viable & polyphonic, areas of the saxophone genre. His playing style however, culminates in the evocative character of his musical presentation. In a word, his bari playing is extremely distinctive. His rendition of the Ellington-esque standard 'Chelsea Bridge' was fluid & expansive so as to evoke respect for his academically earned technical prowess. Evans's artistry is warm & relaxed, & emerges from the same rhythmic mold as a Gerry Mulligan. His unique style will by default protect him from any influences so as to dilute his originality.
