The Gil Evans Orchestra - The Gil Evans Orchestra Plays The Music Of Jimi Hendrix - Speakers Corner LP

180 Gram Vinyl — Speakers Corner Reissue

Recorded in 1974, arranger Gil Evans reimagines the music of Jimi Hendrix for jazz orchestra, transforming songs like "Angel," "Crosstown Traffic" and "Castles Made of Sand" into rich, soulful, cloud-like soundscapes. Following milestones such as Birth of the Cool and Sketches of Spain, this late-period masterpiece stands as a natural extension of Evans's singular gifts as an arranger.
