Bio
charlesevansmusic.com.... "You goddamn sissy...When you hear strong, masculine music like this, get up and use your ears like a man!" - Charles Ives.... "Charles Evans has really done something special with the big horn going beyond the normal vernacular to create a truly unique soundscape. The writing, the playing and the concept itself are all beyond the norm. This is the bari sax as it has never been heard." -Dave Liebman .... "... a stunning virtuoso with irony to spare."- Massimo Ricci, touchingextremes.org.... "New Yorker Charles Evans - a student of Dave Liebman - is a vehement baritone player; Peter Evans (no relation) is a fiery and daring trumpeter...the saxophonist and trumpeter reserve the right to startle with unorthodox virtuosity." - Julian Cowley, WIRE March '07.... “Finding horn players who specialize on baritone sax is rare indeed! That’s why I was so delighted to hear Charles Evans. He’s really got that baritone under control – great stuff! Give this young man’s music a listen- you’ll be hearing more of him on the big horn!” – John Surman (baritone saxophone great).... "There's a lot going on here for the specialist that really wants to get lost in the sound of an up and coming master."Chris Spector, Midwest Record .... "....everything is secondary to the power of the music encased within the CD. To adequately describe it would be to invent some new adjectives. This young man is on to something and he means to get to the bottom of it. " - Larry Hollis, Cadence Magazine, April '06....
