This got me back to listening to Miles Ahead again. Reminding me, as if I need to be reminded, what a wonderful arranger/composer was Gil Evans. Listen to his arrangements for Claude Thornhill and how far advanced they were of the other swing bands of the time. This vocal project, however, needs to be heard far and wide - are you listening Sage Gateshead?
It was sublime. And you missed something special if you weren't there. Make sure you buy the album when it comes out.
It was one of the best things I've ever seen. Totally joyful and goosebumpy throughout!
