Gil Evans & Sting - Recorded Live At Perugia Jazz Festival

Review by Joseph Arredondo

Recorded Live at Perugia Jazz Festival by Gil Evans & Sting is a remarkable album that showcases the brilliance of two musical legends. The album features live recordings of songs performed by Sting with the Gil Evans Orchestra at the Perugia Jazz Festival in Italy.

The album starts with the classic song "Shadows in the Rain," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Sting's voice is as soulful as ever, and the Gil Evans Orchestra provides a rich and full sound that complements his vocals perfectly. The album also includes several other Sting classics, such as "Consider Me Gone" and "Roxanne," which are given a fresh interpretation by the orchestra.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Moonlight," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases Sting's vocal range and the Gil Evans Orchestra's ability to create a dreamy, atmospheric sound. The album also features some instrumental tracks, such as "Little Wing," which highlights the orchestra's impressive improvisational skills.
