Charles Evans Quartet + Mostly Other People Do the Killing

Charles Evans, an underrated local baritone-sax specialist who has issued a number of quietly iconoclastic projects in recent years, presents a new composition, On Beauty, in the company of soprano-saxist Daniel Blake, pianist Ron Stabinsky and bassist Tony Marino. Expect a potent set of chamber jazz, balanced between the stately and the mysterious. Local faves Mostly Other People Do the Killing kick off the evening with their playful, hard-swinging virtuosity.
