Does anyone know the name of the CD, casette or album where Sting
plays "Up from the Skies" accompanied by Gil Evans orchestra?
I hear this tune extremely sporadically on one of the local FM
stations but cannot find the recording anywhere.
I posted this on the JAZZ-conference with no luck so far and I'm
going to put it also into MUSIC.
Thanks for any help, and oh yes, by the way, it is NOT "Little
Wings" which I know quite well (which is also by Gil Evans
and Jimmy Hendriks, like the one I'm looking for)

I know that in the UK some time ago, a Gil Evans album of Henrix
cover versions was released, maybe this is where you'll find the
tune. Can't remember what it was called, but I'll have a look around
for you this weekend.
Does anyone know if there is an lp available of the show that
Sting played in Italy with Gil a couple of years ago? I saw some
dodgy bootlegs a while ago, but they sounded awful.

'Up from the skies' is a Jimi Hendrix song that was recorded by
Sting/Gil Evans at the same time as 'Little wing'. It was released
as part of a 3-inch CD about a year ago, that also includes 'Englishman
in New York' and 'Someone to watch over me' (yes, the Disney song).
It may still be in release...
Rolf, it's been many years that I haven't talked to you! If you
can't find the CD (or 12-inch) I can record it for you whenever
you (or somebody else from Brasil) comes to Boston.
Aquele abraco,

I saw this for sale in Rockit Records, opposite the Pheasant Lane
Mall in Nashua, NH.
