Description
Gil Evans' classic album Out of the Cool (Impulse AS-4) in its entirety, featuring such stars as Budd Johnson, Johnny Coles, Jimmy Knepper, Ron Carter and Elvin Jones. The remaining song from the sessions ("Sister Sadie"), as well as the original 1959 version of "La Nevada", and Evans' vocal arrangement of "Where Flamingos Fly" (sung by Helen Merrill), have been added as a bonus.
As an additional bonus this CD also contains three tunes by the Gil Evans Orchestra featuring Johnny Carisi as the trumpet soloist, recorded during the same period as Out of the Cool.
The Poll Winners label is devoted to the CD reissue of albums that received the maximum 5-star rating in a DownBeat album review. This only rarely happened, and most of the DownBeat albums have become true classics revered by all music lovers. These new editions present the complete original 5-star albums, which are expanded to include interesting bonus albums or tracks by the artist at the peak of their talents.
