Gil EvansIn the notes for the 1988 CD reissue of The Gil Evans Orchestra plays the music of Jimi Hendrix, she wrote: I started playing with Gil when I was about 17 or 18. I had been studying with Warren for five years or so. Gil used to go up to Warren's studio to rehearse, and our paths crossed often. Sometimes when Warren was out of town, Gil would be there playing the piano and I'd go up there to practise and we started practising together. At that point I didn't even know how great he was. So I wasn't intimidated and I was able to just sit and practise with him for hours. If that had happened years later, I would have tried to second-guess what he wanted.
