Our Take
Miles Davis' "Sketches of Spain" is a mesmerising journey through the vibrant and passionate world of Spanish music. This album, released in 1960, sees Davis combine his iconic trumpet playing with the sounds of Spanish flamenco, folk, and classical music in a way that is both innovative and utterly captivating. From the haunting melodies of "Concierto de Aranjuez" to the infectious rhythms of "Solea", Davis takes the listener on a musical adventure that is at once exotic and familiar. The lush orchestrations, arranged by Gil Evans, are a perfect complement to Davis' emotive playing, creating a sonic landscape that is rich, complex, and utterly spellbinding. Tracks like "Saeta" and "Solea" are standouts, with Davis' trumpet soaring over the intricate arrangements with a fiery intensity that is impossible to ignore. The album as a whole is a masterclass in musical storytelling, with each track painting a vivid picture of the Spanish countryside, its people, and its traditions. "Sketches of Spain" is a timeless classic that showcases Davis at the peak of his creative powers. It is an album that rewards repeated listening, revealing new layers of depth and complexity with each spin. If you're a fan of jazz, world music, or just good music in general, do yourself a favour and give this album a listen. You won't be disappointed. Miles Davis may have sketched a portrait of Spain, but what he's really done is paint a masterpiece. Brilliant.
