Tribute to Gil

[medjuck]

Stephanie Stein did the liner notes to a Gil Evans band cd called Tribute to Gil (it was done after he left town.) I got a CDR through Amazon but it doesn't include the notes. Does anyone here by any chance have this and could copy them for me.

If you're wondering why I didn't get this earlier it's because although I'm an Evans completist I avoided the ghost band. Then I saw them in London once and was really impressed. By then the cds weren't readily available and I didn't care that much. However I recently learned that this cd contained the only recording of the last arrangement Gil did: Robby Robertson's The Moon Struck One.

I've never gotten a CDR from Amazon before and almost didn't notice that it was one. The front and back of the insert look like what I presume the original did but the inside of the insert is just an ad for more Soulnote records. I only learned that there should be liner notes when I was looking for information on AMG.

I saw the Gil Evans ghost band at Sweet Basil a couple of times when they still played every Monday night and it was thrilling.

I have the Tribute to Gil Soul Note CD and would be willing to make a copy of the notes but, those Soul Note CD liner notes are not user friendly--the fonts are often so small that I suspect a copy would be illegible. I will check on it though, but you would probably have a better prospect with someone who has the LP.

Would there even have been an Lp in '89? I can't remember.

I've seen it on LP.

I've checked my copy and the font is a reasonable size (though white print on a black background). I'll mail you a photocopy if you would like, just send me your address.
