At last, one might cry, at last these gems are available again after so many years! Strangely enough, connoisseurs of fine sound and music with a difference have been very reserved when it came to expressing their appreciation of the arranger, composer and conductor Gil Evans. Gils milestones in jazz history (his work with Miles Davis and his melancholy trumpet is now legendary) have become entrenched in our memories thanks to his unusual combination of instruments: waldhorns, tuba, oboe - all played by jazz musicians.

Without wanting to resort to a cliché, it must be said that this re-release has been worth the waiting: work on the numbers took three years, and the tape has been lingering in the archive for the past 40 years. From beginning to end, the five numbers provide fans in the year 2005 with proof of Gil Evanss masterly arrangements and endless ideas. And what is more, the sound of this re-release is far better than the flat sound of that from the Sixties.
