Serpentine by Will Evans
"Serpentine" seeks to tell a sonic story. Each original composition takes listeners on a journey. The voyage isn’t straightforward; some compositions drop listeners off where they started for a round trip, while others leave the audience in new places. Rooted in the language of jazz, each piece was shaped collaboratively, with spontaneous interaction between musicians serving as a compass. This album is not just a collection of songs, but a living document of a journey through new musical terrain.
