EVOLUTION is a band comprised of seasoned musicians driven by the vision of saxophone player Nick Gianni.

Its musicians are not only versed in jazz but also electronica, funk, dub and world beat. The band came together organically, as all its members had been playing together over the years in different projects. they combined their musical talents and experiences together to form a unique sound all their own.
Together the members of Nick Gianni's EVOLUTION have performed at such concert venues as Red Hook Jazz Festival, River To River Festival, Willisau Jazz Festival and Central Park Summerstage.
