Gil Evans Artist Snapshot:

Unlike most jazz innovators, who are mainly associated with their instrument, Gil Evans made his mark as an arranger and composer of stunning originality. Best known for his collaborations with Miles Davis (BIRTH OF THE COOL, SKETCHES OF SPAIN), Evans first appeared as an arranger for the Claude Thornhill big band. Later he led his own band, which became the ideal laboratory for his highly individual musical ideas.

Review

Q (7/96, p.137) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...the arranger at the peak of his powers....Never is a surplus riff utilised in the name of authority. Everywhere there's room for soloists to move..."

Digitally remastered using 20-bit technology by Erick Labson (MCA Music Media Studios).

A much admired and loved man, of all the many brilliant orchestration projects this was his finest in his own right. He teases us with the opening of 'La Nevada' until the gorgeous repeated four-bar riff finally bursts on our ears with orgasmic delight. There are wonderful brass solos from John Coles, Tony Studd and Budd Johnson and a bass showcase for Ron Carter. As the opening track peters out after 15 minutes the listener enjoys the smug realization that there are a further four outstanding pieces to come.
