Jazz pianist-composer Orrin Evans strides confidently forward with Flip The Script, a strong piano trio date featuring bassist Ben Wolfe and drummer Donald Edwards. While the session stays straight ahead and features some hard swinging highlights, the music is also elegantly lyrical and clearly suggestive of a modern jazz sensibility.
