Being & Becoming, formed in 2017 by composer and trumpet player Peter Evans (OC '03), is a band dedicated to spontaneous creativity, inspired by the writing of Sufi musician Inyat Khan. Evans' compositions blend traditional and experimental influences, grounding their music in improvisation, notated concert works, and experimental techniques. The group features virtuosic, forward-thinking musicians: vibraphonist Joel Ross, bassist Nick Jozwiak, and drummer Michael Ode, all known for their individuality and musical curiosity. Drawing inspiration from figures like McCoy Tyner, John Coltrane, AACM, and the Spontaneous Music Ensemble, the band's music fuses the old and new with a passion for discovery. Their debut album, Being & Becoming, was released in 2020 to critical acclaim and since then, the band has premiered original works and toured across the USA and Europe.
