This concert will take place approximately 75 years after the creation of this ground-breaking musical hybrid. Its informal evolution by leading jazz and classical artists during the late 1940s, took place in Gil Evans’ single-room basement apartment, below a laundromat on West 55th Street in Manhattan. The 12 tunes resulting from that collaboration are a collector’s classic, and forged decades of new directions in concert halls, jazz clubs, and film scores.
 
The music has an unusual local tie; most of the scores were thought to be lost until manuscript parts were found in cartons in a Philadelphia storage unit fifty years later, as part of Miles Davis’ estate.
Funded by the League of American Orchestras and the Paul M. Angell Foundation.
