Due out June 28, 2024, You Think This America is the first solely trio album from the long-standing cooperative of pianist Orrin Evans, bassist Eric Revis and drummer Nasheet Waits.
“Clarity of vision, creative earnestness and eye toward the basics sets the music made by Tarbaby apart.” – The New York City Jazz Record
Heatmap, due out July 15, 2022 via Imani Records, features pianist Orrin Evans, bassist Eric Revis and drummer Gerald Cleaver .
“Saxophonist Caleb Wheeler Curtis negotiates taut, bop-flavored contours with a meld of Desmond-like coolness and blues-toughened acerb.” – David Whiteis, JazzTimes
“Caleb Wheeler Curtis’ alto sax playing [is] intensely focused and garrulously inventive, digging deep into progressive bop through to post-Coltrane/Ornette free jazz and R&B-funk traditions.” – Selwyn Harris, Jazzwise
available September 11 on Pyroclastic Records
The opening track, ‘Baby Renfroe,’ suggests James Brown funk as refracted through a dichroic prism…. It’s a good first taste of the album, in that it conveys a certain in-betweenness: the band sounds tight but open, calm but spring-coiled.” – Nate Chinen, WBGO’s “Take Five”
” A Basist with a strong rhythmic compass and a stout, beefy tone” — The New York Times
Poised to challenge those limited views of Revis’ expression, Slipknots Through a Looking Glass — his eighth solo-led album, and first release on Pyroclastic Records — explores new territory alongside familiar travelers: drummer Chad Taylor, pianist Kris Davis and saxophone masters Darius Jones and Bill McHenry.
