Originally released in 1960, this album is widely considered to be Evans' masterpiece, on par with Duke Ellington in terms of orchestration, and essential listening for any jazz fan. Evans had spent the previous few years recording with Miles Davis on such acclaimed works as Miles Ahead, Porgy and Bess, and Sketches Of Spain, a collaboration which proved to be extremely enriching for both men. This LP was Evans' first post-Miles recording, and the album's title, Out Of The Cool, is an obvious nod to that fact (a play on Davis' own Birth Of The Cool). The album showcases two significant Evans compositions, the groundbreaking "La Nevada" and "Sunken Treasure."

Reviews"The five compositions, and Evans’ arrangements of them, are as crisp as a well-tailored suit and have the devilish allure of a gangster’s moll in a film noir classic.", 4 Stars - Excellent - "...the arranger at the peak of his powers....Never is a surplus riff utilised in the name of authority. Everywhere there's room for soloists to move..."

From a 24/192 digital file and sounds like it too...
If you enjoy historic jazz vinyl LPs which have been re-mastered using the latest 24/192 digital files then this 'Vital Vinyl' series is for you. Personally, I was disappointed with the audio quality on this LP. The bass, for a start, was hugely overblown (why do these engineers do this?) and that was on a system which has been tuned to keep bass under control, from cartridge choice to speaker placement. Then I was waiting for the holographic soundstage to emerge but sadly this didn't materialise, just a rather flat CD-like presentation with instruments sort of 'smeared' across the soundstage. I thought the problem might be my stereo, so I put on an old 45rpm from the late 50's - but that was fine - suddenly a real 'hi-fi' experience where i could almost reach out and touch the artist. I am beginning to see that if you want decent modern re-masters of old recordings you need to look for ones that have come from the original analogue master tapes, not these wretched digital files! The Blue Note 'Tone Poets' series are a bit more like it - their pressing of Herbie Hancock's 'The Prisoner' sounds pretty good. So anyway, I have sent my copy of 'Out Of The Cool' back to Kevin Reeves at Capitol Mastering in Los Angeles asking for an explanation of why it sounds so bad!?
