Details
[Edit]Between May of 1957 and March of 1960, Miles Davis collaborated with the composer and arranger Gil Evans to create a trilogy of masterpieces for large jazz ensemble. Sketches of Spain, the last of the three, is a dazzling work, not only for the glowing, magisterial orchestrations, but for the stunning solo work by Davis, among his most expressive and affecting. The centerpiece of the album is a November 1959 recording of the adagio from “Concierto de Aranjuez,” a 20th century Spanish composition by Joaquin Rodrigo. “Will O’ the Wisp” comes from a Manuel de Falla ballet while “The Pan Piper” is based on a mystical Peruvian Indian folk melody. An adaptation of old Andalusian flamenco, “Saeta” is a religious march tune that quiets in the middle to allow Davis’ mournful, wailing horn the spotlight. This 50th Anniversary Legacy Edition adds a live performance of the "Concierto" (originally released in 1987) alongside a rehearsal and alternate takes from the original recording sessions, plus "The Maids of Cadiz" from Miles Ahead, and "Teo" from Someday My Prince Will Come.
