 [ Summary: Who is Evan Chen? ]

      Evan's an amazing composer...he came out of Shanghai, studied music in 
Russia and Germany, was fast becoming a leading, classically trained composer, 
and discovered jazz in his twenties, dropped everything to come to Chicago and 
study under some of the best jazz men around (even if it meant washing dishes 
to get by).  His stuff is the most amazing blend of asian influence, classical 
instrumentation, jazz and rock backbeats I've ever heard, even using asian 
scales (somewhat different from western musical scales) in unexpected places 
to make western music sound totally different.

      For a show as different as this, I wanted a completely different, 
totally unique sound, something I've never heard before, and Evan Chen has it.

                                                                    jms
