Interview with Orrin Evans at his North Philly pad today. He is still very much part of the New York jazz scene and was up there the previous evening checking out shows. He loves Philly and is glad to be here, but had some well-versed gripes: The Philly audiences like what they like, and he continues to challenge the status quo. Support the talent in this town so they don't have to go elsewhere.
Interview clips will be featured in an upcoming episode of Philly Jazz, but you can hear him play here and here.
Next week on Philly Jazz:
Byard Lancaster and Reverend Joe testify at West Oak Lane with the Philadelphia Blues Messengers.
