Gil Evans' arrangement centers around a repeated line or riff, which changes color and texture throughout as Miles Davis improvised over the melody. The arrangement for Davis has two separate introductions played one after another at the beginning. These were cut for the recording, but are included here for their historical value. Playing or not playing them in performance is left to the discretion of the conductor. This is a fairly straightforward setting of the iconic Gershwin standard. Dynamics, as in all of Evans' arrangements, is of prime importance.
