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.
