A landmark orchestral jazz album and Gil Evans' first as leader for the Impulse! label. Featuring innovative, spacious arrangements with a stellar ensemble (including Johnny Coles on trumpet, Ron Carter on bass, Elvin Jones on drums, and others), it blends cool jazz, modal elements, and atmospheric depth. Often hailed as one of the greatest big band records of the era—evocative, cinematic, and essential.
Tracklist (total runtime ~60 minutes on expanded editions):
- La Nevada
- Where Flamingos Fly
- Bilbao Song
- Stratusphunk
- Sunken Treasure
- Sister Sadie (bonus track on some reissues)
Perfect if you love Miles Davis' collaborations with Evans (Sketches of Spain, etc.)—this is the band-focused masterpiece in that vein. Timeless late-night jazz.
