ARC

“The title of this CD originated when I began to think about how we musicians give shape and form to a work that reflects who we are. The endeavor is elusive. The word ARC expresses that final, rounded-out beauty, however imperfect, we attempt to create.”
— Falkner Evans, June 2007

“Falkner has the ability to passionately improvise his music with an enormous sound and in a jazz language that he can render intelligibly to his listeners. Falkner is certainly a warm-toned jazz pianist who respects both harmony and melody with a sound that sometimes recalls the great Bill Evans, yet his style is distinctively personal.”
— George W. Carroll, eJazzNews, September 2007

“The trio led by Evans shows a remarkable communication between its three members in the search of climaxes that, like in everyday life, arise from our moods. This gives the music an enormous dimension. ARC contains in its passages a freedom that flows magical and vital, the freedom to use each note, each sound, with a naturalness that fills the spaces, that crosses the harmonic timbres, that draws creative rhythmical phrases of a charming brightness.”
