Peter Evans

Peter Evans is a composer, trumpet player, improvisor, and bandleader based in New York City since 2003. Part of a broad, hybridized scene of musical experimentation, Evans is committed to the simultaneously self-determining and collaborative nature of musical improvisation as a compositional tool, and works with an ever-expanding roster of musicians and composers in the creation of new music. In addition to touring and presenting his groups internationally since 2007, Evans has been exploring solo trumpet music since 2002 and is widely recognized as a leading voice in the field, having released seven albums of solo music since 2006, including the critically acclaimed More is More and Lifeblood.
