Cosmographer In my opinion this album is, along with Ghosts, Evans' best recording, featuring some of his most remarkable compositions to date. Wormhole in particular is a true tour de force and a sign of Evans' maturity as an artist. 100% recommended!

ethanavery My favorite peter record. The arrival of years of conceptual exploration, it’s unlike anything else and marks a new standard for progressive jazz. In the future I might imagine a group recording fantastic music in this new vein, but I can’t imagine a frontman half as skilled as peter. For I and many, it’s bird to Coltrane to peter. I own this on vinyl and have already had many listening sessions with close friends from top to bottom. I believe peter’s music the best in jazz today Favorite track: Sphere.

    I can't find an option for this on the album page.
    It's too risky and the items get lost or damaged too often.
    The average cost for a European shipment of one record is around 30 USD, which I don't want to ask people to pay and I can't afford to cover it anymore.
    If you buy this album to ship from anywhere outside of US I will most likely refund you immediately.
    It's probably best for European customers to go A-Musik in Cologne - they have copies of both Horizons and B&B: www.a-musik.com

about

The first release from Evans' new group Being & Becoming, featuring some of the leading lights from the next generation of creative musicians: Joel Ross, Nick Jozwiak, and Savannah Harris. This debut album features a set of new compositions from Evans, moving between notated chamber music textures, free improvisations, deep grooves and telepathic ensemble playing.

Being & Becoming represents a new chapter in Evans' commitment to composition and improvisation in a small-group format. After working with a variety of ensembles that feature electronics, Being & Becoming is a totally acoustic venture. Like Evans, all three of his new bandmates move effortlessly from very traditional musical contexts to the most forward-thinking. The group has been slowly refining its concept in NYC since 2017. The quartet's 2020 self-titled record on Evans' More is More Records marks another point of evolution in his commitment to composing for creative musicians.
