Free Music Notes for Out of the Cool
Free Music Review: Why not give it SIX stars?
Hit: 5 Stars
Like other fellow "reviewers", this disk came to me in the '60s, when I was (ahem) younger. It was my first real, full-on jazz disk, and was foisted on me (a rank musical slob at that point) by a friend who loved jazz and felt very sorry for my plebian tastes (or lack thereof.) Well, long story shortened, he never got his disk back, and I have memorized it entirely, note by note. And O golly, it's always fresh, alluring, surprising.
This too, it's a wonderful argument for the value of CDs. This one, and "Individualism" were my first purchases... and Oh glory, there's even more subtlety to audit on the CDs!
All I want to add is this: Gil Evans is the ultimate crossover artist. From Jimi Hendrix to the blues, to the sonorities and moods of Maurice Ravel's music, he loved tunes and harmony and he LOVED each instrument in the orchestra. No one like him, not at all. Well, maybe Maria Schneider, who was (I'm told) his assistant at the end... She's got a good ear, but Gil was still the most amazing arranger. And, as others have noted, he sure had the players to do his imagination full justice.
I'll shut up now, and you go buy a copy, OK?
