Davis, Miles

Sketches Of Spain (clear)

Complex, emotive, and straddling several genres, Sketches Of Spain is one of Miles Davis masterpieces, a landmark of orchestrated jazz. The third of his collaborations with Gil Evans, Sketches was inspired by the classical Concierto de Aranjuez, which sparked the suite that makes up the LP. Drummers Jimmy Cobb and Elvin Jones and bassist Paul Chambers reconfigured their approaches to blend with the orchestra under Evans command and Davis uses a muted flugelhorn for the epic opener; his solo on Saeta is blinding and the adapted Andalusian folk song Solea draws on flamenco. This absolute stunner is a must-have!
