Miles Davis, Sketches of Spain
Combining as it does the emotional gravity of two cultures–the deep song of flamenco music and the rich lament of the blues–SKETCHES OF SPAIN is a musical hybrid of enormous power and beauty. Gil Evans’ immense canvas of orchestral colors inspires some of Davis’ most deeply felt solo flights. He paints vast vistas of velvety, shimmering night sounds, and through it all runs the mountainous backbone of Spain’s native rhythms and chants.
