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!

About the artist

Miles Davis

MILES DAVIS: The Jazz Maverick With his smooth trumpet melodies and innovative approach to music, Miles Davis has left an indelible mark on the world of jazz. Born in 1926 in Illinois, Davis began his musical journey at a young age, studying at the Juilliard School in New York City before launching his illustrious career. Known for his cool demeanor and distinct sound, Davis quickly rose to fame in the 1950s and 60s with albums like "Kind of Blue" and "Bitches Brew." His experimental style, blending elements of classical, rock, and funk with jazz, pushed the boundaries of the genre and earned him a legion of devoted fans. Davis was not one to shy away from controversy, whether it was his bold fashion choices or his willingness to collaborate with artists from all walks of life. 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. His legacy lives on through his extensive discography and the countless musicians he influenced along the way. Miles Davis may have left us in 1991, but his music remains as timeless and relevant as ever. He was a true visionary in every sense of the word, and his impact on the world of music will never be forgotten. Raise a glass to the jazz maverick, Miles Davis.
