  The second great Miles-Gil Evans collaboration transforms Gershwin's work into something entirely new. Evans's arrangements are lush and imaginative without overwhelming Davis's trumpet. Miles plays with extraordinary lyricism and restraint throughout. The album succeeds as both jazz interpretation and orchestral music. It's one of the most ambitious recordings of the era.
