Multi-Grammy Award-winning artist Ryan Truesdell reopens the Gil Evans Project vaults for the May 30, 2025 release of a powerful new album SHADES OF SOUND: Gil Evans Project Live at Jazz Standard, Vol. 2

Following in the footsteps of the band’s two critically acclaimed and Grammy Award-nominated albums, Centennial (2012) and Lines of Color (2015), SHADES OF SOUND (Outside In Music) continues to peel back the hidden layers of Gil Evans’ musical legacy. This exhilarating new collection marks the first time the band appears on vinyl and features some of New York’s finest musicians including Lewis Nash, Donny McCaslin, Steve Wilson, Ryan Keberle, Wendy Gilles, and the late Frank Kimbrough.

★★★★ “an album of rare depth and resonance…The arrangements, while infused with a modern sensibility, preserve the soul of the originals, making the music feel as urgent and contemporary as ever….From the first note to the last, Shades of Sound casts a spell.” – Thierry De Clemensat

“Truesdell’s approach to Evans’s legacy transcends mere homage. Rather than modernizing Evans, he illuminates just how forward-thinking this musical visionary truly was.” – Nick Lea, Jazz Views

“The gorgeous lilt of Evans’ still startling original arrangements for horns is preserved, not in the aspic of academia but in the living, breathing performances of a group of New York’s finest musicians such as Evans might have selected himself.” — Cormac Larkin, The Irish Times

The set features newly mixed and remastered editions of the pianist’s 2003 Lullabluebye featuring Ben Allison and Matt Wilson with his 2006 follow-up Play featuring Masa Kamaguchi and Paul Motian.

“Frank Kimbrough [was] a pianist of unerring taste and touch, a composer drawn to flowing ethereality, and an improviser steeped in the art of epiphany.” – Nate Chinen, WBGO

“ [Kimbrough] was remarkably at ease in any style of jazz, turning on a dime from blocky and dissonant clusters to bebop workouts to ethereal subtleties. In all cases, his impeccable touch was balanced by a strong undercurrent of rhythm.” – Michael J. West, JazzTimes
