The first disc arrived with a damaged sleeve and Acoustic Sounds immediately sent a pre-paid RMA label and shortly thereafter a replacement album. See here for my vinyl review playback hardware. Reviewed using my Hana SL, Lentek Head Amp and MX-VYNL pre-amp. The original recording was made by the legendary Rudy Van Gelder on November 18 & 30 and December 10 & 15, 1960 at Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, NJ and released in February 1961 on the Impulse label.

Out Of The Cool features some of Evan’s finest compositions, including the famous “La Nevada” as well as a magnificent performance of George Russell’s “Sratosphunk.” This album is a brilliant example of Evans’ ability to make a large orchestra sound like a smaller jazz combo using orchestrations that infuse the larger unit with the immediacy and spontaneity of the smaller. This album was released on May 13th, 2021 on the Impulse label – CATALOG: AIMP 21101Ī groundbreaking jazz recording by the longtime Miles Davis collaborator Gil Evans, highlights the latter’s supreme and influential skills as a jazz orchestrator.
