With a detailed 36-page booklet tracing it's heritage. 'Sketches of Spain' was the third album where arranger Gil Evans was called upon to create an entire sound world for Miles Davis. Spanish themes had been in evidence on the first of the series, ('Miles Ahead') but 'Sketches... ' delivered a complete Spanish musical landscape. A formidable challenge that nevertheless proved to be within the powers of Davis and Evans at their artistic peak. In Downbeat Magazine, Bill Mathieu wrote: \"This record is one of the most important musical triumphs our century has yet produced. It brings together under the same aegis two realms that in the past have often worked against one another - the world of the heart and the world of the mind... what is involved here is the unison of ideas with emotion, pre- composition with improvisation, discipline with spontaneity... If there is to be a new jazz, a shape of things to come, then this is the beginning. \" Evans and Davis were scarcely the first modern musicians to be captivated by the mysteries of Spanish music. Davis (with the pianist Bill Evans) had already created the shimmering 'Flamenco Sketches' for the imperious 'Kind Of Blue' (commercially, the most successful jazz album of all time), while John Coltrane's inspired response to these explorations would be the labyrinthine, raga-like 'Olé'. Maurice Ravel's Spanish heritage is revealed by his Bolero, inspired by the minimalist repetition that is at the heart of Flamenco and much admired by such pop luminaries as Beatles producer George Martin; Frank Zappa of the Mothers of Invention and the late Jeff Beck ('Beck's Bolero'); while Claude Debussy sculpted the sensuous sonic-postcard that is Iberia, the central panel of the 'Images' triptych. Django Reinhardt played the introspective 'Echoes of Spain' to the master guitarist Andrés Segovia, who, dazzled, demanded a score, only for Django to shrug that the piece was, \"merely an improvisation\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlamenco Sketches Miles Davis Sextet\/Miles Davis with Gil Evans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Orchestra -'Sketches of Spain'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Concierto de Aranjuez - Adagio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Will O'The Wisp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Pan Piper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Saeta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Solea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Miles Davis with Gil Evans Orchestra from 'Miles Ahead' -Maids of Cadiz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Blues for Pablo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Olé John Coltrane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Echoes of Spain -Django Reinhardt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Alborada Del Gracioso Maurice Ravel Maurice Ravel - Rapsodie Espagnole Orchestre National de L'opéra de Paris \/ Conductor: Manuel Rosenthal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Prélude À la Nuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Malagueña\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Habanera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Feria-Manuel de Falla - Nights in the Gardens of Spain National Orchestra of Spain \/ Conductor: Ataúlfo Argenta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gonzalo Soriano: Piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e En El Generalife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Danza Lejana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e En los Jardines de la Sierra de Córdoba-Claude Debussy - Images for Orchestra No. 2 : Ibéria Orchestre National de L'opéra de Paris \/ Conductor: Manuel Rosenthal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Par Les Rues Et Par Les Chemins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Les Parfums de la Nuit \/ Le Matin D'un Jour de Fête\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Boléro Maurice Ravel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wind Quintet - First Movement Roberto Gerhard the London Wind Quintet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e En los Trigales Joaquín Rodrigo-Julian Bream: Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pavane Pour Une Infante Défunte Maurice Ravel Julian Bream: Guitarissac Albéniz Alicia de Larrocha: Piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Evocación from Iberia Book I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jérez from Iberia Book 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Duelo de Campanas Sabicas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Danza Del Molinero Manuel de Falla Orchestre de la Suisse Romande \/ Conductor: Ernest Ansermet Andante from Concierto Del Sur Manuel Ponce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Andrés Segovia: Guitar Symphony of the Air \/ Conductor: Enrique Jorda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Homenaje \"Le Tombeau de Debussy\" Manuel de Falla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Andrés Segovia: Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fandanguillo Joaquin Turina Andrés Segovia: Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e La Sérénade Interrompue from Préludes Book I Claude Debussy Walter Gieseking: Piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Andaluza from Danzas Españolas Enrique Granados the London Symphony Orchestra \/ Conductor: Ataúlfo Argenta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Quejas O la Maja y El Ruiseñor from Goyescas Alicia de Larrocha: Piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Final Movement from Concierto de Castilla Federico Torroba Renata Tarragó: Guitar.
