These extraordinary recordings were made at the Brandeis (Massachusetts) Jazz Festival,
held at its university in 1957 - and they form a key watershed in the then evolution of
æthird streamÆ, modal and avant-garde jazz. As well as Bill Evans, the 16-piece
orchestra featured many top jazz artists including : Art Farmer, Jimmy Knepper, Hal
McKusick, Teo Macero, John Laporta, Teddy Charles and Barry Galbraith.
The 3 concerts were organized to showcase the work of 6 different composers : Gunther
Schuller, Harold Shapero & Milton Babbitt represented classical composers; while Jimmy
Giuffre, George Russell and Charles Mingus (who plays on one piece) were selected as
the jazz composers/arrangers. Schuller and Russell were also involved as conductors.
In addition to the 6 festival tracks, there are 3 rare bonus tracks featuring Bill
Evans in vibist Don ElliotÆs Quartet, recorded live at the Newport Jazz Festival, less
than a month later the same year.
