The Individualism of Gil Evans is an album by pianist, conductor, arranger and composer Gil Evans originally released on the Verve label in 1964. It features Evans' big band arrangements of five original compositions and compositions by Kurt Weill, Bob Dorough, John Lewis and Willie Dixon. The original LP release consisted of tracks 2–5. Tracks 1 and 6–9 were added to the 1988 CD version of the album. Tracks 1, 8, and 9 first appeared on LP in 1974 as part of Verve's "Previously Unreleased Recordings" series. That album also contained two quartet pieces, "Blues In Orbit" and "Isabel", which are not available on CD. In the UK, the original album was issued by Verve for the first time in 1974 but as a double LP, with different cover art. It included the tracks from "Previously Unreleased Recordings", giving some alternative titles to those on the US release.
