Boasting a raw, vigorous sound, a raucous, unpredictable personality, and a membership ranging from elders to rising stars, the 2x GRAMMY-nominated Captain Black Big Band (CBBB) led by Philadelphia native Orrin Evans has retained the jazz world's rapt attention since their 2011 debut. In those 15 years, CBBB has become one of the most vital big bands on the modern jazz scene. That’s no surprise given the leadership,  irresistable personality, and ambassadorship of pianist/composer Orrin Evans, who imbues the ensemble with his distinctively bold, bracing sensibility. From its beginnings at Philly’s own Chris’ Jazz Cafe through its long-running Monday night residency at New York’s Smoke Jazz & Supper Club, the band has evolved into a tightrope-walking unit whose daring approach lends the music an exhilarating edge. To celebrate the 2024 release of Walk a Milk in My Shoe, CBBB are joined by Philly-based vocalist Joanna Pascale and vocalist Paul Jost, plus a very special surprise guest.

Jonathan Biss has established himself as “one of his generation’s most serious musical thinkers” (New York Times). His latest PCMS recital pairs one of Schubert’s last sonatas—“works which address the mysteries of life and death, and do so unflinchingly and with astonishing beauty”—with a newly commissioned work by Black composer Alvin Singleton. “The intention is not to suggest a particular connection between the old and new works: it is to show that one can immerse oneself in the greatest music of the past and work to ensure that the present and future are more just, and so much richer for it” (Jonathan Biss).
