The Gil Evans Orchestra will feature Randy Brecker, Adam Rogers, Mark Egan, Matt Garrison, Conrad Herwig, Gil Goldstein, Oz Noy, Mino Cinelu and more, led by Miles Evans.
The collaboration between Miles Davis and Gil Evans produced some of the most influential recordings in jazz history, including Miles Ahead, Porgy and Bess and Sketches of Spain. Their partnership expanded the possibilities of jazz orchestration, blending Davis’ unmistakable trumpet voice with Evans’ richly textured and forward-looking arrangements.
The June 19 performance offers audiences an opportunity to hear that music brought to life by musicians with deep ties to jazz history and the Gil Evans Orchestra tradition.
