Impulse! Nights: Out of the Cool featuring Ryan Truesdell

Flying in the face of Basie-style blues juggernauts, on the 1961 LP Out of the Cool Gil Evans dipped into impressionistic pastel shades and sophisticated textures without ever losing that crucial sense of swing. Conductor Ryan Truesdell revisits Evans's elegant charts tonight with a starry ensemble, featuring heavy hitters like Steve Wilson, Marcus Strickland, Ben Monder and Frank Kimbrough.
