"[McEvers] also has a good ear for color, having absorbed lessons of the last half century's worth of arranging, including organ-reed writing that distinguished the rock-jazz bands of the 60s; the yearning brass textures of Woody Herman's later orchestras; the cinematic sound sculptures that proliferated in the 80s.  ...the way he combines them - the music's specific DNA - gives the music a distinct identity." - Neil Tesser, Grammy Winning jazz writer (Chicagomusic.org)
