About This Offer
TAKE NOTE: This is NOT the version
Gil did on Out of the Cool!
In 1959, Gil released the Great Jazz
Standards album on World Pacific Records, which included an
original tune called “La Nevada (Theme).” Around the same time,
he was asked to write two charts for Kendor Music to be published and
sold through their publish company. The charts were supposed to be
for a more traditional big band instrumentation and playable by
younger bands. One of the charts he did was this one, which he titled
“La Nevada Blues.” I had always thought these were someone else’s
transcriptions/orchestrations, but they are definitely Gil’s. This
chart has been out of print for a long time, and we are happy to
publish it here again through ArtistShare®.
In addition to the study score, you
will also receive a PDF download of a scanned page from Gil's
original manuscript. You will also have access to a supplemental
video in which I explain the unique history behind my discovery of
this "lost" work and a streaming audio show in which I
analyze the chart, discussing Gil's use of harmony, orchestration,
and more.
I've worked on bringing this music back
to life for a very long time, and it I am confident I can provide you
with new insights into these previously forgotten masterpieces. Don't
miss out on this unique opportunity get your hands on this priceless
study score from one of the greatest, most dynamic composer/arrangers
in jazz history.
