About This Offer

TAKE NOTE: This is NOT the version Gil did for Miles Davis on Miles Ahead! This is a re-orchestrated version that Gil did a couple years later for a live performance at the Apollo Theater in New York City in 1959 and features GUITAR, not trumpet. As far as I know, this particular orchestration was only performed live during that Apollo concert in 1959 and has never been recorded, though it follows the Miles arrangement very closely.


In addition to the study score, you will also receive a PDF download of a scanned page from Gil's original manuscript. You will also have access to a supplemental video in which I explain the unique history behind my discovery of this "lost" work and 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. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity get your hands on this priceless study score from one of the greatest, most dynamic composer/arrangers in jazz history.
