Reviews :
“Although Gil Evans had gained a lot of acclaim for his three collaborations with Miles Davis in the 1950s and his own albums, this LP contains (with the exception of two tracks purposely left off), Evans's only dates as a leader during 1961-68. The personnel varies on the six sessions that comprise the LP (which adds five numbers including two previously unreleased to the original Lp) with such major soloists featured as tenorman Wayne Shorter, trombonist Jimmy Cleveland, trumpeter Johnny Coles and guitarist Kenny Burrell. Highlights include "Time of the Barracudas," "The Barbara Song," "Las Vegas Tango" and "Spoonful." Highly recommended to Gil Evans fans; it is a pity he did not record more during this era.” AllMusic reviews by Scott Yanow.
“Ian Ernest Gilmore Evans (né Green), jazz musician, composer, arranger, bandleader (born 13 May 1912 in Toronto, on; died 20 March 1988 in Cuernavaca, Mexico.) Known as the “prince of swing,” Gil Evans is widely regarded as one of the greatest orchestrators and arrangers in jazz history. He is best known for incorporating unconventional instrumentation (initially French horn, tuba and flute, and later electric instruments) into a big band format, and for his influential collaborations with Miles Davis. Evans was also a central figure in the development of cool jazz, free jazz and jazz fusion. He received a Guggenheim Fellowship, won multiple Grammy Awards and was inducted into the DownBeat Jazz Hall of Fame and the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. “ The Canadian Encyclopedia by David McPherson
