Pianist Falkner Evans returns with ARC,
his third CD as a leader, and his best yet! Joined by the ace rhythm
section of bassist Belden Bullock and drummer Matt Wilson, Evans
has produced a recording that crackles with energy, swing, creativity
and beauty.
Mixing his compelling original compositions with such jazz standards
as Wayne Shorter’s Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum and John Coltrane’s
Central Park West, not to mention a stunning take on the evergreen
Come Rain Or Come Shine, Evans and his compatriots strike gold everywhere
they look. The interplay between these three musicians is obvious
and intimate, allowing listeners to hear a lively conversation among
close friends. The understated beauty of Evans’s compositions
and improvisations is brought into focus by the sharp and sensitive
accents delivered by drummer Wilson, while Bullock’s deep
anchor of powerful sound and swing envelops the whole with grace.
Swinging, soulful, compelling and foot-tapping, Falkner Evans’s
ARC is the epitome of the modern jazz piano trio.
