{"product_id":"gil-evans-individualism-of-gil-evans-lp-vinyl","title":"Gil Evans – Individualism of Gil Evans","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvans spent the late 1950s reshaping jazz orchestration alongside Miles Davis on landmark recordings like *Miles Ahead* and *Sketches of Spain*, but *Individualism* marked a decisive step into his own compositional voice. Recorded across multiple sessions, it captures a working band at peak chemistry, with Evans treating the orchestra less as a fixed ensemble and more as a living, breathing extension of his harmonic imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReleased in 1964 on Verve, The Individualism of Gil Evans stands as one of arranger-composer Gil Evans' most compelling works, showcasing some of the finest music of his career. The album blends Evans' originals and Miles Davis collaborations with inspired interpretations, all rendered through his distinctive big band lens. A core group of musicians, including Johnny Coles, Steve Lacy, Jimmy Cleveland, Tony Studd, Bill Barber, Elvin Jones, and Paul Chambers, lend a remarkable consistency of texture and mood. Evans himself plays piano throughout, his touch especially poignant on \"The Barbara Song,\" where a sense of deep pathos is underscored by Shorter's expressive tenor. From the brooding atmosphere of \"Time of the Barracudas\" to the one-chord intensity of \"El Toreador,\" the album highlights Evans' mastery of tone, space, and orchestral nuance. The Verve Vault series is always mastered from analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen=\"\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarbara Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLas Vegas Tango\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlute Song\/Hotel Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToreador\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 199957337427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Verve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.10.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Verve Records (V6-8555)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1964  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e US\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 The Barbara Song – 9:55\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 Las Vegas Tango – 6:13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1a The Flute Song – 12:25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1b Hotel Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 El Toreador – 3:30\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGil Evans – Arranged By, Conductor, Piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBen Tucker – Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGary Peacock – Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMilt Hinton – Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaul Chambers (3) – Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRichard Davis (2) – Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRon Carter – Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElvin Jones – Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOsie Johnson – Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBob Simpson – Engineer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhil Ramone – Engineer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRudy Van Gelder – Engineer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVal Valentin – Engineer (Director Of Engineering)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDonald Corrado – French Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGil Cohen (2) – French Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJim Buffington – French Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJulius Watkins – French Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRay Alonge – French Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobert Northern – French Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarry Galbraith – Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKenny Burrell – Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBob Maxwell – Harp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMargaret Ross – Harp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGene Lees – Liner Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreed Taylor – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAl Block – Reeds, Woodwind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAndy Fitzgerald – Reeds, Woodwind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBob Tricarico – Reeds, Woodwind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEric Dolphy – Reeds, Woodwind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGarvin Bushell – Reeds, Woodwind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeorge Marge – Reeds, Woodwind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJerome Richardson – Reeds, Woodwind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteve Lacy – Reeds, Woodwind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWayne Shorter – Reeds, Woodwind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrank Rehak – Trombone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJimmy Cleveland – Trombone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTony Studd – Trombone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBernie Glow – Trumpet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErnie Royal – Trumpet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohnny Coles – Trumpet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLouis R.
