The Peter Evans Quintet has been performing in the USA and internationally since 2009. The band has relentlessly focused on new combinations of notated and improvised music in an electro-acoustic setting and has amassed a wide range of original material, documented on their acclaimed "Ghosts" album from 2011 and the cinematic, monumental compositions on their upcoming "DESTINATION: VOID" (2014).

Peter Evans is a trumpet player and composer based in New York City who works across a wide spectrum of contemporary music practices. Since moving to NYC in 2003 Evans has established several small ensembles (Quintet and Zebulon Trio), formed collaborative groups with other composers/improvisors (Pulverize the Sound, Rocket Science) and performed music by both new and established composers. As a trumpet player, Evans has been steadily working to broaden the expressive vocabulary of the instrument for both solo and group contexts. In 2011 he established his More is More label and has released several recordings of his music.
