Our Take

If you're in the mood to embark on a musical journey through the sun-drenched streets of Spain, then strap in and get ready for a wild ride with Miles Davis' Sketches Of Spain. This collection, arranged and conducted by the legendary Gil Evans, is a masterclass in blending the fiery passion of Spanish music with the cool sophistication of jazz.

From the moment the haunting strains of "Concierto de Aranjuez" kick in, you know you're in for something special. Davis' trumpet weaves effortlessly through the lush orchestration, creating a sound that is both exotic and familiar. It's like taking a siesta in Seville while sipping on a cool glass of sangria.

The bonus tracks on this reissue only serve to enhance the experience. "Maids of Cadiz" and "Song of Our Country" are like little postcards from the Iberian Peninsula, transporting you to a world of bullfighters, flamenco dancers, and endless sunshine. It's all very romantic and dramatic, just like a Spanish soap opera.

Overall, Sketches Of Spain is a triumph of musical fusion, blending the best of Spanish and jazz traditions into a seamless whole. It's an album that demands to be listened to in one sitting, preferably with a glass of Rioja in hand. So, if you're feeling in need of a little escapism, look no further than this little slice of musical heaven. Ole!
