Here is a fascinating project by Pete Levin, a former member of the famous Gil Evans Orchestra, which performed in the 1970s and 1980s. A few years ago, Pete gathered an "all-star" group of Gil's band alumni and promoted a show at a large New York City club. The concert was professionally recorded, both in audio and video. His more recent efforts to take the band on tour were halted by the pandemic. 

After the pandemic, he will resume the project in 2024, with the release of an audio recording and DVD of the New York show. He tentatively named the group "Gil Evans Remembered," recalling the years when the band played every Monday night at New York's Sweet Basil jazz club and won Grammys for the albums "Plays The Music of Jimi Hendrix" (RCA) and "Live At Sweet Basil" (King).
