Out of stock


“Priestess” stands as a testament to Gil Evans’ restless imagination and his unmatched touch as an arranger. Recorded live in 1977, this album finds Evans at the helm of a fiercely talented ensemble, pushing the boundaries of jazz orchestration while staying rooted in groove and melody. The title track is a sprawling, mystical journey peppered with bold brass, subtle electronics, and the kind of textural interplay only Evans could conjure. Each composition sways between moments of controlled chaos and sublime clarity, offering surprises with every listen. Evans’ knack for blending traditional big band sounds with avant-garde impulses is on full display, making the record a touchstone for anyone interested in jazz’s possibilities. “Priestess” is not just an album—it’s an immersive listening experience where improvisation and arrangement dance in rare harmony. For seasoned collectors or new explorers of Evans’ oeuvre, this release captures the thrill of jazz in motion, making it a vital addition to any thoughtful vinyl library.
