Gil Evans • Plays The Music Of Jimi Hendrix

 

Gil Evans was a huge admirer of the music of Jimi Hendrix – so much so, in fact, that he resolved to collaborate with the guitarist on projects. A meeting between the two had been arranged for September 1970 but Hendrix overdosed just before his trip to New York and with that impetus obviously faltered. Four years later, however, Evans returned to Hendrix’s music to record a tribute album with a 19-man orchestra. He presented the music at a Carnegie Hall concert, part of the New York Jazz Repertory Company’s programming for that year, and took it into the RCA studios the following day.

The band included such heavyweights as guitarist John Abercrombie, trumpeter Marvin Peterson and saxophonists David Sanborn and Billy Harper. The orchestrations involve a wide range of instrumentation but of the nine songs, only two are definitively Evans’ arrangements.

Gil Evans era un gran admirador de la música de Jimi Hendrix, tanto que decidió colaborar con el guitarrista en varios proyectos. Se había concertado una reunión entre ambos para septiembre de 1970, pero Hendrix sufrió una sobredosis justo antes de su viaje a Nueva York y, con ello, el impulso se desvaneció. Sin embargo, cuatro años más tarde, Evans volvió a la música de Hendrix para grabar un álbum tributo con una orquesta de 19 músicos. Presentó la música en un concierto en el Carnegie Hall, dentro de la programación de la New York Jazz Repertory Company para ese año, y al día siguiente la llevó a los estudios RCA.

La banda incluía a pesos pesados como el guitarrista John Abercrombie, el trompetista Marvin Peterson y los saxofonistas David Sanborn y Billy Harper. Las orquestaciones incluyen una amplia gama de instrumentos, pero de las nueve canciones, solo dos son arreglos definitivos de Evans.
