Album beschikbaar op vinyl (LP), CD en SACD in totaal 26 uitgaven. Miles Davis' Sketches of Spain, released in 1960, is the epitome of the jazz trumpeter's talent. Inspired by Spanish classical composer Manuel de Falla, Davis has created a masterpiece that is both captivating and beautiful. The album's opening track, "Concierto de Aranjuez," is a perfect example of Davis' ability to blend classical and jazz influences into one. The piece is lush and romantic, with Davis' trumpet soaring above the orchestra. Other album highlights include the ballad "Solea" and the spirited "Flamenco Sketches." The album "Sketches of Spain" is a must-listen for every fan of jazz and classical music. Album valt binnen het genre Jazz, Hedendaagse jazz en Modaal.

George Avakian, who led a series on ethnic music in Colombia under the guidance of ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax, wanted Gil Evans to work mainly with flamenco because he respected Spanish composers. Miles himself discovered Joaquin Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez" and flamenco at the same time - thanks to an anthology brought back from Spain by actress Beverly Bentley and a concert Frances Taylor took him to. The result was majestic music in which Gil Evans bypassed the kitschiness of Rodrigo's original score and held his own with the help of Miles' formidable trumpet. In addition to the Adagio from Concierto, Gil Evans borrowed Manuel de Falla's "Will O' The Wisp" and adapted "The Pan Piper" from an aria for pan flute that Lomax had recorded in Galicia, and "Saeta" from a ritual chant of the same name that was sung to the accompaniment of the brass bands accompanying the processions in Seville during Holy Week. In this last piece and in "Solea," Miles draws on the glow of flamenco singing while departing from all traces of folklore.

Alongside the Adagio from 'Concierto', Gil Evans borrowed Manuel de Falla's 'Will O' The Wisp' and adapted 'The Pan Piper' from a bagpipe aria Lomax had recorded in Galicia, and 'Saeta' from the ritual chant of the same name, sung to the accompaniment of the brass bands accompanying the processions in Seville during Holy Week. In this last piece and in "Solea" Miles drew on the fervor of flamenco singing while distancing himself from all traces of folklore.

Jazz classic reissued including bonus track.
Miles Davis collaborated with arranger Gil Evans three times during his career. After Miles Ahead and Porgy and Bess, they created Sketches of Spain, which was a career highlight for both. The album combines Spanish themes, lush orchestrations, romantic colors, and Davis' increasingly lyrical playing, and continues to impress five decades after its initial release. Along with Kind of Blue, In a Silent Way and Round About Midnight, Sketches of Spain is one of Miles Davis' most innovative and enduring albums.
The 180g vinyl LP has been remastered from the original master tapes by Krieg Wunderlich and Shawn R. Britton and comes with detailed sleeve notes and serial number in a limited edition.
