These recordings occurred during a pivotal period in Gil Evans' career following his classic work with Miles Davis. In the early 1970s, Evans formed a new orchestra and took interest in incorporating the electric guitar with this ensemble. Evans' wife suggested he listen to Jimi Hendrix, who was newly established on the music scene at that time. Evans was so impressed, he setup a meeting with Jimi to discuss him fronting the new ensemble. Jimi was excited about the project. Unfortunately, Jimi died in September 1970, just prior to this meeting. Evans decided to carry forward with his original plans in an alternate way.
