Orrin Evans Trio at Albuquerque Museum

Orrin Evans is a Philadelphia pianist with serious credentials, a long run with the Keystone Collective, and enough recorded output to make clear he treats the piano trio format as an ongoing argument rather than a formula. The Ventana Room is an open-air courtyard on the museum grounds, which means the sound bounces differently than a stage, and the skyline behind the Sandia foothills does real work as the sun goes down. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so buy ahead if you care about seating rather than standing on the grass.
