Gil Evans
Show Description:
His most famous work was with Miles Davis in the mid-'50s with the celebrated albums Miles Ahead, Porgy and Bess, and Sketches of Spain. But there's much more to Gil Evans' story. In a career spanning more than 50 years - from the early '30s until his death - the legendary "arranger's arranger" created his music using a diverse palette of musical colors, both within jazz and beyond. Evans' music reflects an insatiable appetite for new sounds. Yet every arrangement bears his unique signature and one of the most distinctive orchestral writing styles in jazz.
