Peter Evans - Extra, album review

Romp

On opening track Freaks, an echoing horn wrestles with the pulsing bass until it breaks free to blast its sound at pace – a lively start. On next I See, the drums pick up the pumping beats, and Evans’ horn dances along with staccato bursts – more jostling to share the energy. This is the full-on template for an album of eight Evans originals. There’s playfulness too – near the end of Boom, the pip and squeak of horn sees out another rouser; on Nova, the horn imitates a soprano sax in places, and on Movement 56, electronics kick into the mix for the fun of it, becoming an airplane landing. A delightful collection.
