专辑介绍

by Thom Jurek

Out of the Cool, released in 1960, was the first recording Gil Evans issued after three straight albums with

Miles Davis

Sketches of Spain

being the final one before this. Evans had learned much from

Davis

about improvisation, instinct, and space (the trumpeter learned plenty, too, especially about color, texture, and dynamic tension). Evans orchestrates less here, instead concentrating on the rhythm section built around

Elvin Jones

Charlie Persip

, bassist

Ron Carter

, and guitarist

Ray Crawford

. The maestro in the piano chair also assembled a crack horn section for this date, with

Ray Beckinstein

Budd Johnson

, and

Eddie Caine

on saxophones, trombonists

Jimmy Knepper

Keg Johnson

, and bass trombonist

Tony Studd

, with

Johnny Coles

and

Phil Sunkel

on trumpet,

Bill Barber

on tuba, and

Bob Tricarico

on flute, bassoon, and piccolo. The music here is of a wondrous variety, bookended by two stellar Evans compositions in &La Nevada,& and &Sunken Treasure.& The middle of the record is filled out by the lovely standard &Where Flamingos Fly,&

Kurt Weill

Bertolt Brecht

's &Bilbao Song,& and

George Russell

's classic &Stratusphunk.& The sonics are alternately warm, breezy, and nocturnal, especially on the 15-plus-minute opener which captures the laid-back West Coast cool jazz feel juxtaposed by the percolating, even bubbling hot rhythmic pulse of the tough streets of Las Vegas. The horns are held back for long periods in the mix and the drums pop right up front,

Crawford

's solo -- drenched in funky blues -- is smoking. When the trombones re-enter, they are slow and moaning, and the piccolo digs in for an in the pocket, pulsing break. Whoa....
