To ensure the safety of our audiences, we will require all attendees to wear masks while in our space and throughout the performance. We will not allow food and beverage in the space, but we encourage you to check out our neighbors at Hartleys, Xochitl Taqueria, Sisters or Buka before or after the show. Formed in 2017, the band features Evans (trumpet), Joel Ross (vibraphone, percussion), Nick Jozwiak (bass) and Savannah Harris (drums). Evans' compositions for the band draw from a wide variety of sources, traditional and experimental, with a grounding in improvisational idioms, notated concert music and an array of experimental approaches. Influences for the music range from the work of masters like McCoy Tyner and John Coltrane, traditional musics of Africa and India, 20th Century European modernism and the improvised idioms pioneered by the AACM, the SME and many more. The result is something that feels somehow both new and old at once, an experimentalism grounded in both rigor and a passion for the undiscovered. Being & Becoming's debut album was released in 2020 on More is More records in both vinyl and digital formats. Evans is one of 500 New York City-based artists to receive $5,000 (for these concerts) through the City Artist Corps Grants program, presented by The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA), with support from the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME) as well as Queens Theatre. @jackartsny @peterevanstrumpet @tim.dahl.75 @nyfacurrent @queenstheatre @nycnightlifegov
