Bill Evans Soulgrass, Sam Bush

Doors open at 7:00 PM, show begins at 8:00 PM.

Throughout his 20-year career as a solo artist, saxophonist Bill Evans has explored a variety of musical settings that go well beyond the confines of traditional jazz, including hip-hop, fusion, reggae, Brazilian and slamming funk. Evans steps into more adventurous territory with Soulgrass, blending jazz, funk and bluegrass into a seamless and wholly unique hybrid of quintessentially American styles. Bill Evans first joined Miles Davis' group at the age of 22 in 1980. He went on to record 6 records with Davis, as well as tour the world with him many times over a 4 year period. The stint with Davis was followed by 3 years with John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra that went on to tour and record 3 CDs. Since his tenure with Davis and McLaughlin, Bill has recorded/ toured with Herbie Hancock, Lee Ritenour, Dave Grusin, Mick Jagger, to name but a few. Bill has been touring almost exclusively with his own band since 1990, playing well over 100 concerts per year worldwide.
