Where Flamingos Fly is an album by
jazz composer, arranger, conductor and pianist
Gil Evans, originally recorded in 1971 for
Capitol Records but not released until 1981 as an LP on the
Artists House label. It was reissued on CD in 1989 by
A&M Records with different cover art (shown).
The
Allmusic review by
Scott Yanow awarded the album 2½ stars stating "This transitional LP features arranger Gil Evans shortly after he decided to put together a permanent big band. Although the music didn't come out until a decade later, it is actually quite worthwhile".[2]
