The Story of Humanity project is about our evolution from spirit to humanity and from humanity back to spirit.

Orrin Evans turns over a new leaf and strides confidently back onto the scene to “Flip the Script.” Evans continues to make a bold statements with a strong piano trio date featuring bassist Ben Wolfe and drummer Donald Edwards.
