New Bottle Old Wine is an album by jazz composer, arranger, conductor and pianist Gil Evans recorded in 1958 by Evans with an orchestra. The album is a suite of songs written by and/or associated with major jazz musicians and composers, in original arrangements by Gil Evans, featuring Cannonball Adderley as the only soloist (like the albums Evans made with Miles Davis including Miles Ahead, Porgy and Bess, and Sketches of Spain).[1]. The orchestra also featured a number of important players including Bill Barber, Frank Rehak, Johnny Coles, Art Blakey, and Paul Chambers.[2]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars and states "This is near-classic music that showed that Gil Evans did not need Miles Davis as a soloist to inspire him to greatness" [3] and The Penguin Guide to Jazz described the album as "one of [Adderley's] finest hours".
