Intimate, Polished, Upbeat

"...messy and beautiful and delicate and crude: just like life is."

That's the cut that pops at the beginning of the show "Jazz Profiles: Gil Evans," NPR Music's tribute, introduction and explanation of what composer/arranger Gil Evans did to, and did with, music.

You might know Gil Evans for his legendary collaborations with trumpet player Miles Davis, but there was so much more. As always, Jazz Profiles has produced another musical documentary and music appreciation tale without the baggage that can take the music out of the musician at the heart of the story.

Suitable for all jazz and multi-music formatted stations and best suited for weekday evenings and all weekend long.
