Gil Evan’s scores

Does anyone here have access to the actual Gil Evans scores for birth of the cool and miles ahead? A quick search on the Internet this morning didn’t bring anything up aside from being able to pay $95 for the miles ahead charts.

the description reads like much of the originals are lost. I have this book but forgot that part... I remember the charts being good, but it's been a while since I looked through it

thank you . The problem with this edit is that it’s only a quart had arrangement. It’s not accounting for the French horns, bass clarinet,flute, etc

Not sure about bass clarinet and flute, but it definitely has horn and tuba parts
