The Gil Evans Centennial Project: Newly-discovered Works of Gil Evans


Recommended Posts

Posted

What period is this stuff from? I really don't care for his later stuff at all (at least the stuff I've heard).

The video mentions at least one Thornhill-era chart, as well as some things done for Astrud Gilberto. Also some "newly discovered compositions", whatever that means.

Definitely curious. Anyone here pre-order the CD?? I'm sure thinking about it...

It's not due until 2012, but I can tell you that ArtistShare is big on providing "progress updates" on their projects, so pre-ordering now makes sense if you want that.

The ablum doesn't work particularly well, no, but at least in part because it's not a full-fledged collaboration. Gil's work is only heard on some tunes. It doesn't really flow.

I'd like to hear what he wrote for the project that wasn't used. I suspect it might have presented too steep a challenge for Astrud.
