Gil Evans Live At The Public Theatre In New York, Vol. 2 CD Gil Evans Discography of CDs
See all MP3 songs and albums by Gil Evans Recorded live at The Public Theater, New York, New York on February 8 & 9, 1980. Includes liner notes by Elliot Bratton.
The second of two Gil Evans LPs originally recorded for the Japanese Trio label and put out in the United States on the now-defunct Black-Hawk company features the veteran arranger leading a 14-piece group at a pair of 1980 concerts. The five selections (which include Jimi Hendrix's \"Stone Free,\" Charles Mingus' \"Orange Was the Color of Her Dress\" and Evans's \"Zee Zee\") are given colorful treatment by the unique band, which consists of three keyboardists, a rhythm section propelled by drummer Billy Cobham, three trumpets (Lew Soloff, Jon Faddis and Hannibal Marvin Peterson), two trombones (including George Lewis), John Clark on French horn, baritone saxophonist Hamiet Bluiett and altoist Arthur Blythe. Although the end results do not quite live up to the potential of this unique ensemble, there are plenty of colorful moments. ~ Scott Yanow
