About John Evans

 
Portrait of John Evans
John Evans - Composer/Producer/Keyboardist/Session bassist.

Evans, best known for his work with saxophonist David Sanborn on the RIAA certified gold, Grammy-nominated album, HIDEAWAY, has assembled the group DREAM to perform some of his instrumental compositions.

Jackie Anderson - Host of Midday Jazz on WJAB-FM Radio says: "You can feel the magic from start to finish with "DREAM". Smooth jazz at its finest. Don't miss this one."

DREAM performs five of Evans’ instrumental compositions, ranging from the romantic ballad, “Dream” and the classic R&B flavored "Destiny", to the gentle, swaying, Brazilian/Cuban influenced, “West Side Walk”, and the festive “Para Bailar”.

Here's what Paul Dunkel - Music Director & Conductor of the Westchester Philharmonic (New York) had to say about DREAM:

“I've been listening to Dream, a lovely recording based on the music of the gifted American composer John Evans. Mr. Evans obviously has an ear for lyrical lines and many of his songs are extended in these instrumental versions. While the harmonies are not complex, the arrangements are subtle and colorful. The playing is first rate throughout. For this listener (a classical musician) Mr. Evans seems to have learned lessons from several major composers: Debussy comes to mind first. My particular favorite cut is "Para Bailar" with its Latin edge. Each selection has a catchy groove and there is enough variety between the five compositions to satisfy any listener whether he be from the pop or classical worlds.”

    Thanks for the comment and I hope that next month Grupo Tránsito will make the quarterfinals and I can have some fun. I already sold 14, 000 copies of the cd but need to sell a lot more because royalties with the majors (this time SRS & SONY) is depressing ..lol.

    SRS stands for "SALSA RITMO SABOR" my indie label.

    Good Luck!

    Your "Dream" is very much self-explanatory and needs no advertising. Everyone's had it, even those who don't want to admit it, playing roughnecks. Godspeed!
