About this project

Welcome to the Gil Evans Study Scores Project. Study Scores for Gil Evans' newly rediscovered, original arrangements are now available exclusively through ArtistShare® for the first time.

By participating in this project, you will receive a study score for each of the previously unavailable works you select from the Participant Offers section. In addition to the study score (downloadable PDF format) and a scanned copy of a page from Gil's original manuscript (PDF format), you will also receive access to a supplemental video in which I explain the unique history behind my discovery of these "lost" works. You will also have access to 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.

Join this project today by selecting the study scores of your choice from the Participant Offers section, and gain access to the creative process behind these previously unreleased arrangements by this legendary jazz master.
