✨“Shades of Sound is an album of rare depth and resonance.”
—Paris Move

✨“Another album from Gil Evans Project to die for.”
—Raul Da Gama, JazzDaGamma

✨“Truesdell’s approach to Evans’s legacy transcends mere homage. Rather than modernizing Evans, he illuminates just how forward-thinking this musical visionary truly was—each drop of the needle revealing new layers in Evans’s kaleidoscopic sound world.” —Nick Lea, Jazz Views
