Description
Ryan Truesdell’s Grammy-nominated Gil Evans Project, an all-star large ensemble devoted to Gil Evans’ music, makes its Pocket debut by performing the complete Birth of the Cool. The album stands as one of jazz’s most revolutionary recordings, born from the historic Evans–Miles Davis collaboration. This centennial tribute brings those classic arrangements to a venue with a quiet policy: keep voices to a whisper while the lights are down.
