One More From The MasterJun 22, 2001
A 1987 example of the Gil Evans spontaneously arranged 'small big-band' style. Recorded in an open-ceilinged church with accoustical charm. As usual, generous solo time alloted by Gil to his top-notch lineup. Lew Soloff amazes every time he picks up a horn. This musician is the most 'under-looked' trumpet-artist in the last three decades. Chris Hunter has it together on both his alto and soprano sax solos. This CD contains some of his best efforts.
On the (somewhat) negative side, not enough solo material chosen featuring George Adams on tenor, except for his calling-out the subway stops on 'Subway', a strange piece (by Pete Levin) that is more reminiscent of Mingus' anger.
The inclusion of keyboardist Delmar Brown's Whitney Houston-ish stylings on 'Sometimes' is an embarassment and has no place on a Gil Evans release.
