“Most of these tracks will be familiar to Evans enthusiasts and the young pianist plays sensitively and lightly on such as Peri’s Scope and Re: Person I Knew. For Nenette is given a slow, lyrical reading. Waltz For Debby is taken slightly slower than Bill usually played it but inventively. Young Evans plays Peace Piece with all the intensity that Bill brought to it.” - Derek Ansell
“I have no reservations about calling this teenager a prodigy, and I expect much from him in the future. For those who know the life story of his grandfather—in which both sublimity and tragedy are inseparably intermixed—this is a heartwarming development.” - Ted Gioia
“Listening to Evans on Evans (Shamus Records) by pianist Jaden Evans, grandson of the legendary jazz pianist Bill Evans, it is surprising to discover that he is only 16 years of age and has essentially been jazz-directed for only about three years. It is just about impossible to find a pianist who has not been influenced by Bill Evans since he arrived on the scene. Jaden Evans is no exception but is already evolving a voice of his own. The results here point to a bright future for the young Evans. ” - Jersey Jazz
“Now that you’ve heard Bill, you need to hear his grandson Jaden Evans, with a brand new CD “Evans on Evans”. We’re gonna hear it today, sixteen years old with the chops that his grandfather had.”
