about

Hold on to your hat when Orrin Evans unleashes the first studio recording by his award winning Captain Black Big Band. "Mother's Touch" is a delightfully engaging set of hard hitting performances that feature some of the brightest players on the New York area jazz scene today. Always reaching for the stars, Evans plays piano brilliantly throughout, while also seamlessly conducting the group through a solid program of original compositions and exciting arrangements. Avid listeners will certainly agree that the entire album is insightfully straight ahead, steadily swinging, and refreshingly melodic enough to evoke a wide assortment of bright moments for discerning jazz fans everywhere.

Touch My Beloved's Thought
by Greg Ward

supported by 11 fans who also own “Mother's Touch”

Ward's swirling, breezy sax feels very close and intimate - listening to it I pictured myself in a small basement room as the band played - but the 10 tongues paint a joyful and sophisticated urban fairytale that changes scene cinematically and builds to a satisfying finale. Tom Colquhoun
