EEE (Eubanks-Evans-Experience)
Album ∙ Contemporary Jazz ∙ 2022
There’s something admirably visceral and straightforward in this duet project from Philadelphia jazz stalwarts Orrin Evans and Kevin Eubanks. Fresh from a brief but intense stint as pianist in The Bad Plus, along with Grammy nominations for his Captain Black Big Band, Evans is the acoustic voice here, and the blend of piano with Eubanks’ amplified, extroverted electric guitar makes for a wonderful mood and texture. (Eubanks is a fine acoustic guitarist but opts not to use it here.) There are two live extended cuts, based on Evans’ “Half the Battle” and Eubanks’ “Adoration,” respectively, plus two loose improvising vehicles (“I Don’t Know,” “And…They Ran Out of Bisquits!”), a hidden gem by pop-fusion trumpeter Tom Browne (“Dreams of Loving You”), and an affecting Evans tribute to his wife (“Dawn Marie”). “Novice Bounce,” a brisk, Wes Montgomery-esque waltz from Eubanks’ 1983 debut, Guitarist, gets an electric makeover to start the album in a dreamy and lyrical vein.
