Peter Evans Extra brings together three of contemporary music’s most daring improvisers in a high‑velocity sonic pursuit that redefines the jazz trio. The band fuses Evans’s sculptural trumpet vocabulary with Petter Eldh’s hyperactive bass and Jim Black’s unpredictable rhythmic bursts, producing a kinetic, ever‑shifting soundscape where silence and noise collide. Their 2024 debut, EXTRA (We Jazz Records), was praised as one of the year’s best jazz records for its technical daring and anarchic spirit.
