Mèvas Journal: Album Launch

Méva’s Journals is an original hard bop band that moves through many aspects of Jazz and Afro-Cuban inspired music while holding the authentic sound of the late 50’s and early 60’s Hard-Bop style of Art Blakey and Horace Silver. The band pays tribute to the early Bebop and Avant-Garde composers that Evan takes much of his sound from such as Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Eric Dolphy and Freddie Redd. They will be playing music from their recently released debut album “Chimera”.

The Band Features an ensemble of Jazz Music Institute (JMI) students and Alumni, Evan J. Evans (Drumset), Alex Askew (Upright Bass), Jordan Stitt (Piano), Chris James (Alto Saxophone) and Tyger Middleton (Tenor Saxophone).
