Our Take

In a world where jazz albums come a dime a dozen, Orrin Evans' latest offering, The Red Door, stands out like a sore thumb - in the best way possible. This Philadelphia pianist has certainly put his own unique spin on the traditional jazz sound, delivering a sonic experience that is equal parts gritty and sophisticated.

From the moment the opening track kicks in, it's clear that Evans means business. The raw power of his piano playing is matched only by the tight interplay with his bandmates, creating a sense of controlled chaos that is downright exhilarating to listen to. The album's title track, "The Red Door", is a prime example of this energy, with its pulsating rhythms and fiery solos that grab you by the collar and refuse to let go.

But it's not all about the fiery intensity on The Red Door. Evans also knows how to dial it back, as evidenced by the hauntingly beautiful ballad "Nickel and Dimed". This track showcases his sensitive side, with delicate piano lines that tug at the heartstrings and a lyrical quality that is simply mesmerising.

Overall, The Red Door is a refreshing and welcome addition to the jazz landscape. Orrin Evans has proven once again that he is a force to be reckoned with, and this album is further proof of his talent and vision. So go ahead, step through The Red Door - you won't regret it.
