Out of the Cool

Song of the Day:

The Gil Evans Orchestra – Where Flamingos Fly

One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded, Where Flamingos Fly is a real showcase for Trombonist Jimmy Knepper.   It is from the fabulous and innovative 1961 album, Out of the Cool by composer, arranger Gil Evans (AKA the only white guy Miles Davis thought was cool) and his jazz orchestra.   Let it take you away.
