Gil Evans
Day 66
#34 – Ian Ernest Gilmore ‘Gil’ Evans (born Green) (1912–1988). Canadian jazz pianist, arranger, composer and bandleader. Albums include: Out of the Cool (1960), The Individualism of Gil Evans (1964) and Where Flamingos Fly (1971).
Evans was an arranger and this idea of organising the players in the orchestra made me think of taking apart the letters of his name and rearranging them.
