5.0 out of 5 stars Definitive 3 Mar 2005
By "xorgth"
Format:Audio CD
A landmark album which pretty much tells you all you need to know about Gil Evans - plus of course his work with Miles Davis on 'Miles Ahead' etc. Understated, subtle and producing some great solos from the musicians. And it doesn't come much cooler than this. 'Sister Sadie' is a bonus track not on the original 1961 LP.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Evans 21 Sep 2007
By Honest Dave
Format:Audio CD
I've been buying jazz albums for nearly 40 years and can't believe I only found this recently, after catching the end of a documentary on the man.
The arranements, especially the use of the lower brass, are outstanding. Check out Sunken Treasure. Nearly 50 years ago some of the harmony must have seemed radical. The instrumental playing is also great with Ron Carter on bass thundering away. I've loved the music of Carla Bley for years - now I know where she got some of her inspiration.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece 21 Jan 2000
By Robert Middleton - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
The first and centerpiece song of this album, La Nevada (snowfall in Spanish) is one of the most beautiful and original jazz pieces ever written. Every time I hear it, it makes me stop and listen closely. The music is VISUAL, that is it conjures up images of nature dancing with joy. The solos, (of which I have memorized every note) are virtuoso improvisations. The rest of the album is great too. But La Nevada stands alone.

5.0 out of 5 stars A rare gem 3 Mar 2005
By Ramon Melendez - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Sometimes you listen to a piece of music for the first time and it strikes you that it sounds so original yet so logical, so beautiful and natural yet so rare. This is how this music struck me when I first heard it in LP 20+ years ago. Is a recording for the ages. When the trombones come in out of nowhere in "La nevada" you feel taken by them, yet you feel like there is nothing else that could have come in but these bones. "Where Flamingos Fly" is a masterpiece of arranging and shows the artistry of Jimmy Knepper. The session continues with one beautiful surprise after another. Do yourself a favor and get this recording if is the only one you can get.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gil's Greatest 21 Mar 2003
By Paul of London - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Following on from his three classic albums with Miles Davis, this is Evans' best ever album. Stand-out tracks are the long, swinging 'La Nevada', and the dark, moody 'Where Flamingos Fly' and 'Hidden Treasure'. The CD also has a bonus track, the jolly 'Sister Sadie'. Great arrangements, great musicianship, particularly Ron Carter on bass and Elvin Jones on drums. A real gem of an album.
