There's a lot to respect about Gil Evans in addition to his work with Miles Davis. He was as much an arranger, conductor and bandleader as a pianist (in this video he's the guy in front conducting), laying a lot of the foundations and structure for what came later. Infrastructure is one of those things that you don't notice until it starts falling apart.
Listen.
It's so solid, you can almost feel the steel and concrete.
