Orrin Evans' sixth date as a leader for Criss Cross reunites the award winning pianist and composer with his mentor and longtime colleague, master saxophonist Ralph Bowen.
The quartet session introduces five exciting new original compositions and reexamines three Evans' songs from his first two releases for the label.
Tenor saxophonist J.D. Allen is added to the group on Evans' stirring of Horace Silvers' Song for my Father.
In the rhythm section bassist Mike Boone or Eric Revis, and drummer Rodney Green or Byron Landham.
