★收錄編曲大師吉爾伊文斯60年代在Impulse!廠牌之大器名盤，兼具柔美氣度及磅薄氣勢之爵士聲響
★Utilizing the skills of the top mastering engineers and the unsurpassed production craft of Quality Record Pressings, the Acoustic Sounds series is mastered from the original analog tapes, pressed on 180-gram vinyl and packaged by Stoughton Printing Co. in high-quality gatefold sleeves with tip-on jackets.

★The Acoustic Sounds series, a different storied label spanning Verve/UMe’s extraordinarily rich archive. To begin with, the series will largely focus on some of the most popular albums from the 1950s and 1960s in their unmatched catalogue
★A classic big-band album and one of the first-ever releases on the Impulse! label. If one album evokes the style, the ethos, and the vibe of Impulse! among those first LPs in 1961 it is Out of the Cool. It features a superb line-up. This album was a move towards greater freedom in Evans’ compositions and arrangements, but at the same time there are echoes of his recent work with Miles on his Birth of the Cool sessions in the late 1940s.The Penguin Guide to Jazz calls Out of the Cool, “Evans’ masterpiece under his own name and one of the best examples of jazz orchestration since the early Ellington bands”. Verve’s Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.

吉爾伊文斯，擁有「當代爵士編曲天王」美譽的，最為人熟知的是他於40年代末期面臨以速度、勁道、複雜及即興著稱而方興未艾之咆勃爵士風潮，與小號手邁爾戴維斯刻意柔化了前述樂風之稜角特質，發展出強調音樂結構、重視旋律表現、傳遞舒緩圓潤音色的酷派爵士，藉伊文斯精湛成熟的編曲技巧再加上戴維斯迷濛低迴的醉人音色所打造之優美典雅的曲式特別引人入迷，也成就了當年美國東西兩岸爵士樂“紐約咆勃、加州酷派＂(New York Hot & California Cool) 之相互輝映盛況。然伊文斯對爵士樂的重要影響及貢獻不僅於此而已，他亦與時俱進地在調性爵士、前衛爵士及融合爵士等不同樂風發展上扮演成具指標性之關鍵角色，成為爵士樂壇執牛耳之一代宗師。本黑膠經典為60年代他與其大樂團為名在Impulse!廠牌所發行，納入土巴號及巴松管的大樂團編制所演奏以酷派爵士為主軸之樂曲，有沉靜柔美之詮釋，亦有恢弘大器之演繹；後者則是以鋼琴手西索泰勒、薩克斯風手亞契席普及低音提琴手亨利葛蘭姆斯等前衛好手為主，藉飆技競速帶來最蕩氣迴腸的爵士聲響！
