ABOUT MÈVA'S JOURNAL

Playing original Compositions that take inspiration from Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Freddie Redd, Thad Jones.

The band is led by Evan J. Evans, a Brisbane drummer currently studying a Bachelor in Jazz performance at the Jazz Music Institute, who has written all the music for the band. The music is based heavily in the early era of hardbop, taking heavy influence from more angular bebop composers like Thelonious Monk.
