The fact that Bill Evans' years as a Miles Davis sideman had so positive an effect on him is evident on The Alternative Man  an unpredictable fusion date that, although overproduced at times, is full of spirited blowing and adventurous composing. Ranging from the reggae-influenced "The Path of Resistance" to the addictive "Let the Juice Loose!" to the angular "Jojo," Evans' material is consistently impressive. A Michael Brecker disciple but definitely his own man, Evans tends to be robust and aggressive on tenor and more reflective on soprano. Guest John McLaughlin (electric guitar) is characteristically persuasive on the poetic "Flight of the Falcon."~ Alex Henderson https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-alternative-man-mw0000191774
