As the brain-child of drummer, composer and bandleader Evan J. Evans, Mèva's Journal has been a long time in the making. Evan had been working with and starting many projects throughout all forms of jazz and jazz-adjacent music, until he finally decided it was time to build what to him was the perfect band to explore the music of his mind.
Mèva's Journal explores different sounds of the '60s hard bop scene. A big and early inspiration to Evan has always been Thelonious Monk, being exposed to Monk in his first year at the esteemed Jazz Music Institute (JMI). Through Monk he found himself finding more people that he would come to look up to such as Eric Dolphy, Freddie Redd, Horace Silver, Bud Powell and Elmo Hope.
