Comments : In July 1987 Sting interrupted the recording sessions for the album "Nothing Like The Sun" and travelled to Italy to perform at the "Umbria Jazz '87 Festival" together with Gil Evans and his band. This became one of Sting's most special performances. Besides jazzy versions of his own songs also various cover versions were performed, including two compositions by Jimi Hendrix (Up From The Skies and Little Wing). On March 20, 1988 Gil Evans died at the age of 75 after complications during an operation in Mexico. This was about eight months after the show in Perugia. The quality of this recording is excellent (a very clear soundboard recording).
