Evan Lohning

Jazushi / Surry Hills / Map

Evan has been a part of the Australian jazz community for 30+ years. Known mainly for his arranging skills, he has written the big band music for many illustrious jazz celebrities like Don Burrows, Dale Barlow, Tom Burlinson, Don Rader, Monica Trapaga, Simon Tedeschi and many others. Starting off on drums as a kid, then graduating to trumpet, he attained ‘final form’ as jazz pianist after discovering the great Art Tatum and the idea of incorporating the advanced arranging ideas he’d been working on, to be played ‘live’ on piano. A long period of study and research followed as he embarked on a grand investigation into both jazz and classical music, especially Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, Ravel, J. S. Bach. Evan’s ongoing project is the redefinition and revamping of his piano style; working on a whole new way of playing, attempting to merge the old and the new styles into a new synthesis. His singular style emphasizes melody, songlike improvisation as he performs his original material...you will hear snatches of melody from the great jazz songs of the past, as quotations from the golden
