Our Take

MILES DAVIS - SKETCHES OF SPAIN

Miles Davis, the jazz revolutionary, has once again left us speechless with his latest masterpiece, "Sketches of Spain." This album is like a musical journey through the vibrant streets of Barcelona, with Davis leading the way on his trumpet.

The opening track, "Concierto de Aranjuez," is a breathtaking reinterpretation of the classical piece by Rodrigo. Davis' smooth trumpet lines dance effortlessly over the lush orchestral backdrop, creating a truly enchanting listening experience.

The title track, "Sketches of Spain," is a sultry, Spanish-inspired piece that showcases Davis' incredible range as a musician. His ability to blend different musical genres seamlessly is truly unmatched.

But it's not just Davis who shines on this album. The supporting musicians, including pianist Gil Evans, add layers of depth and complexity to each track, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is simply mesmerising.

Overall, "Sketches of Spain" is a bold and daring statement from Miles Davis. It's an album that pushes boundaries and challenges the listener to think beyond conventional jazz norms. So grab a glass of sangria, sit back, and let yourself be swept away by the undeniable genius of Miles Davis. Cheers, Miles!

He was a trendsetter in every sense of the word, constantly pushing the envelope and challenging the status quo. Despite his tumultuous personal life and battles with addiction, Davis continued to create music that resonated with audiences around the world.
