The Gil Evans Project Plays Miles Ahead

The Gil Evans Project was born out of composer/producer Ryan Truesdell’s desire to restore and perform Gil Evans’ music directly from Gil’s original manuscripts. For decades, the only way to perform Gil Evans’ music was through transcriptions, which are often inaccurate, creating a misrepresentation of Gil’s music. After years of painstaking research and preparation, with full support from the Evans family, Ryan Truesdell and the project perform Gil’s music in its purest form. In celebration of Miles Davis’ Centennial, the band will be performing music from Gil and Miles’ most celebrated period, Miles Ahead.
