ORRIN EVANS

SHEA CENTER FOR PERFORMING ARTS / WAYNE, NJ / FEBRUARY 15

Pianist Orrin Evans brings his expansive musical vision to New Jersey in a special Jazz Room presentation sponsored by the Heart of Jazz Foundation. Orrin is known for balancing deep jazz tradition with forward-leaning composition, combining harmonic sophistication with rhythmic drive and emotional clarity. As a bandleader, collaborator, and founding member of The Bad Plus, Evans has built a reputation for music that challenges without alienating. This afternoon performance offers an intimate opportunity to experience his artistry in a concert-hall setting, where nuance, dynamics, and storytelling take center stage.
