Rhythm A Ning is an album by jazz composer, arranger, conductor and keyboardist Gil Evans, recorded in 1987 and performed by Evans with Laurent Cugny's Big Band Lumiere.[1]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album three stars, stating "This is a very interesting recording. Aging arranger/pianist Gil Evans agreed after much persuasion to come to Paris and play his music at a few concerts with Laurent Cugny's Orchestra. After only one rehearsal, the first event took place, and it gratified Evans to realize that the young French musicians were not only excellent players but big Gil Evans fans... they did an excellent job of bringing Gil Evans's music to life".[2]
