Bill Evans Soulgrass:
Grammy-winning saxophonist Bill Evans first joined Miles Davis’s group in 1980 at the age of 22. He went
on to record six records and tour the world with Davis numerous times over a four-year period. He then
toured and recorded with John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Herbie Hancock, Lee Ritenour,
Dave Grusin, Steps Ahead, and Mick Jagger, among others, garnering a few Grammy Awards along the way.
Since 1990, Evans has been touring almost exclusively with his own band, playing well over 100 concerts
worldwide per year. He has recorded 19 solo albums including his latest, Dragonfly (2011), receiving two
Grammy nominations in the process. Throughout his more than 20-year career as a solo artist, he has
explored a variety of musical settings that go well beyond the confines of traditional jazz, including rock, hiphop,
jam, fusion, soul, and slamming funk. He recently stepped into more adventurous territory with his 2006
Grammy-nominated release Soulgrass, blending jazz, funk, and bluegrass into a seamless and wholly
unique hybrid of quintessentially American styles.
Bill Evans band is a melting pot of quintessential American music. Evans style. Funk, rock, rhythm and
blues . A genuinely unique powerhouse of grooves that make for a powerful and emotional style of music.
Soulgrass is an idea that started in 2005 and continues to this day , using the instruments of jazz, rock and
bluegrass combined with fiery vocals. Soulgrass is a band that defies all logic !!
A member of Soulgrass since early 2006:The immensely talented drummer Josh Dion simultaneously sings
and plays drums like only he can do, in his own unique and soulful way. Both he and Bill co-wrote many of
the new songs on the new CD, Dragonfly. . New Yorker Mitch Stein is best known for his work with David
Sanborn, The Brecker Brothers, and Steve Kimock and Dave Anderson on bass. It is this combination of
style and talent that make Soulgrass what it is.
This tour, Soulgrass features established blues artist Murali Coryell on Guitar and vocals .Playing the
music of Soulgrass in combination with Murali’s deep rooted, bluesy vocals ,they will cover the musical
spectrum in an irresistible sound.
