During his kaleidoscopic quarter-century as a professional jazz musician, pianist Orrin Evans has become the model of a fiercely independent artist who pushes the envelope in all directions. Evans upholds that reputation the fifth release by his Captain Black Big Band, Walk a Mile in My Shoe, which earned the ensemble its third Grammy nomination.
The title refers to a malformation of the left foot that Evans has lived with from birth, necessitating several reconstructive surgeries. But the album’s larger point is about feeling worthy, about taking ownership of the journey and doing things without waiting for the “perfect” time. Such was the motivation to release the album on Imani Records, Evans’ own flagship label since the early 2000s.
