Crosstown Traffic - The Gil Evans Orchestra


Picked up a CD of The Gil Evans Orchestra Plays the Music of Jimi Hendrix at Beautiful Days festival and gave it a spin last night. I know it might be controversial but might this be one of those cases of the cover version being even better than the original? Answers on a flaming Fender Stratocaster... 

PS: Gil was supposed to meet up with Jimi the week after he died to discuss recording an album together, so it's fair to say that there was some mutual admiration there.
