Our Take

If Pitchfork Magazine was reviewing "MILES DAVIS Sketches Of Spain" it might sound something like this:

When it comes to jazz, Miles Davis never fails to cement his status as a legend, and "Sketches Of Spain" is no exception. This album is like a fine wine, elegant and full bodied, with layers of complexity that only reveal themselves upon repeated listens.

From the moment the opening notes of "Concierto de Aranjuez" hit your eardrums, you know you're in for something special. Davis effortlessly blends traditional Spanish melodies with his own unique jazz stylings, creating a sonic landscape that is both familiar and completely fresh.

The standout track has to be "Solea", a sprawling 12-minute masterpiece that showcases Davis' virtuosity on the trumpet. The intricate layers of instrumentation build and swirl together, creating a truly mesmerising listening experience.

Overall, "Sketches Of Spain" is a triumph of creativity and innovation, showcasing Davis at the peak of his powers. If you're a fan of jazz, or just appreciate good music in general, this album is an absolute must-listen. Davis may be gone, but his music lives on, and "Sketches Of Spain" is a shining example of why his legacy will never be forgotten.
