Description by OLDIES.com:

The variety of John Lewis's activities make him one of the most interesting and significant musical figures in the jazz world. "Original Sin" was written in 1961 for a conventional symphony orchestra and explores the sounds and movements of modern jazz. On "Essence," Lewis plays the compositions and arrangements of vibraphonist Gary McFarland -- together with orchestra, Lewis paints a tonal landscape with textures and layers of what he refers to as "tone colors." Personnel on "Essence" include Freddie Hubbard, Eric Dolphy, Phil Woods, Jim Hall, and Gunther Schuller.
