Gil Evans • The Individualism Of Gil Evans

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
Although Gil Evans had gained a lot of acclaim for his three collaborations with Miles Davis in the 1950s and his own albums, this CD contains (with the exception of two tracks purposely left off), Evans's only dates as a leader during 1961-68. The personnel varies on the six sessions that comprise the CD (which adds five numbers including two previously unreleased to the original Lp) with such major soloists featured as tenorman Wayne Shorter, trombonist Jimmy Cleveland, trumpeter Johnny Coles and guitarist Kenny Burrell. Highlights include "Time of the Barracudas," "The Barbara Song," "Las Vegas Tango" and "Spoonful." Highly recommended to Gil Evans fans; it is a pity he did not record more during this era.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Aunque Gil Evans había ganado mucha aclamación por sus tres colaboraciones con Miles Davis en la década de 1950 y sus propios álbumes, este CD contiene (con la excepción de dos temas omitidos a propósito), las únicas fechas de Evans como líder durante 1961-68. El personal varía en las seis sesiones que componen el CD (que añade cinco números incluyendo dos inéditos en el Lp original) con solistas tan importantes como el tenor Wayne Shorter, el trombonista Jimmy Cleveland, el trompetista Johnny Coles y el guitarrista Kenny Burrell. Destacan "Time of the Barracudas", "The Barbara Song", "Las Vegas Tango" y "Spoonful". Muy recomendable para los fans de Gil Evans; es una pena que no grabara más durante esta época.
