The Individualism of Gil Evans

CD-Charts > Music > Cool and West Coast
by: Gil Evans

Release Date March 09, 1993
If the earlier 3 star review had predated my purchase of this work, I'd have possibly been swayed off. Thankfully it didn't. Put aside Train "sound-alike" observations, "no groove" and other negative views of that reviewer and form your own opinion by listening and re-listening to this classic Evans' work. Listen to it as a whole. If you find an extraordinary groove and a compelling and hypnotic richly structured soundscape, interjected with sympathetic structured solos fitting seamlessly in Evans' orchestral magic, then welcome! Maybe it will, in time, find its way into your Desert Island shortlist.

Art Pepper + Eleven: Modern Jazz Classics

CD-Charts > Music > Cool and West Coast
by: Art Pepper

Release Date July 01, 1991
If ever there were a jazz musician who took the stereotype of the hard-living, rebellious hipster to its ultimate extension, it was Art Pepper. In and out of jail and mental asylums over the course of his career, his brand of fluid, Bird-inspired alto playing remains one of those great what-if's in the history of jazz music. Albums such as "Meets the Rhythm Section" have acquired cult status owing to the myths which have grown up about Pepper coming out of jail and the next day going straight into the recording studio to jam with Miles Davis' own rhythm section. Whatever the truth of these stories, it remains the fact that Pepper possessed a fantastic alto sound, and his gift for deeply musical improvisation remains rarely equalled.
