Karl Evangelista ranks among the vanguard of musicians pushing the traditions of jazz and experimental music into the future.

Evangelista has explored new realms in sound and intercultural collaboration alongside the likes of Andrew Cyrille, Fred Frith, Louis Moholo-Moholo, Trevor Watts, Bobby Bradford, Alexander Hawkins, Tatsu Aoki, and Asian Improv aRts co-founder Francis Wong. Grex is an experimental/art rock band based out of Oakland, California. In biological terms, a "grex" is an entity composed of several smaller organisms. Grex (the band) explores the meeting point between surreal songcraft and the dark outer reaches of free jazz and industrial hip-hop. The group has been called an "otherworldly experience" (Eugene Weekly) and "true genre warping music" (KFJC), recalling at turns the ecstatic energy of Milford Graves, the electronic squall of Death Grips, and the lilting indie rock of Water from Your Eyes and Mits
