The Gil Evans Orchestra Out of The Cool SHM-SACD

Relaxed West Coast cool jazz meets the rhythmic pulse of the streets of Las Vegas. "Out Of The Cool" from 1960 was Gil Evans' first recording after three albums with Miles Davis. Evans concentrates here on the rhythm section around Elvin Jones, Charlie Persip, Ron Carter and Ray Crawford. The horn section consists of Ray Beckinstein, Budd Johnson and Eddie Caine on saxophones, trombonists Jimmy Knepper, Keg Johnson, bass trombonist Tony Studd, Johnny Coles and Phil Sunkel on trumpet, Bill Barber on tuba and Bob Tricarico on flute, bassoon and piccolo.
Musically, the album is of wondrous variety, centered on Evans' compositions "La Nevada" and "Sunken Treasure." They are complemented by the standard "Where Flamingos Fly", Kurt Weill's "Bilbao Song" and George Russell's classic "Stratusphunk".
This set is not only great, but also extremely entertaining.
This title is an SHM-SACD. This format is the further development of the single-layer SACD and uses a particularly light-transparent plastic (S uper High Material). This results in significantly better readability of the pit-land structures on the surface than is possible with hybrid SACDs. Universal's SHM-SACDs are generally digitized from the master tapes of the albums to DSD without any changes. SHM-SACDs can be played on any SACD player. Please note: All titles are designed by Universal Music as limited edition collector's items for the Japanese market.
