Ryan Truesdell: We are doing a full concert of Gil Evan's music throughout his career
back all the way to the I think it's about the 1940s, mid-forties up through the music that he wrote
for miles as late as 1965 and it's gonna show a really great span of Gil's music
throughout his whole career and how you can hear it change from the forties music and
etcetera. I was very interested in Gil's music and so I sought out to find the original manuscripts
by doing that over multiple years of researching his music I discovered all this new music
that have never been heard before so that kind of sparked this whole process
and I did a record of 10 pieces that have never been recorded before
which is released on Artistshare and Centennial and we are doing some of the music
from the record here tonight. The biggest thing about it is to hear it live.
Just hearing the stuff coming out of the instruments directly is something that you won't
experience anywhere else and its just got that certain bit of magic that is Gil Evans.
