Gil Evans - New Bottle Old Wine - Pure Pleasure LP

180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl, Pressed at Pallas in Germany

If you have admired Gil Evans' arrangements on the classic Miles Davis recordings, you owe it to yourself to hear this. New Bottle Old Wine makes the case that Evans was one of the great jazz arrangers of all time, reimagining standards like "St. Louis Blues," "King Porter Stomp," and "Lester Leaps In" with sophistication, nuance, and a real sense of fun. Featuring Julian "Cannonball" Adderley on alto, the set works equally well as a window into late-'50s modern jazz or as a showcase of inventive big-band orchestration.
