Mark Little Presents: A Tribute to Bill Evans
Thu, Nov 05
“Mark Little’s spirited playing amply demonstrates his total immersion in the music he loves, not to mention his wholehearted commitment to it." - John Dankworth
Each night is a piano trio set built on the music of Bill Evans, whom Mark met while studying in Boston in the 1970s. The trio plays Evans's own songs and the records Evans made with guitarist Jim Hall, and past sets have included "Time Remembered" and "Blue in Green."
Mark was born in Amarillo and has lived in San Antonio since 2004. He has toured, recorded and performed with Sir John Dankworth and Dame Cleo Laine, Pharoah Sanders, Pee Wee Ellis, Maria Muldaur, Sonny Stitt, Joe Lovano, Bobby Hutcherson, and Bobby McFerrin. He studied at Berklee College of Music, and also with Margaret Chaloff and Harvey Diamond. Bassist Brandon Rivas and drummer Kory Cook have joined him here. The lineup and the set list can change from one date to the next.
