Originally on ALBUM Sketches Of Spain Columbia 1960
Original track lenght is 12:15
Arranged By, Conductor - Gil Evans
Producer - Teo Macero Trumpet - Miles Davis
Took some balls to mix this one, a 1960 tracks with virtually no beats, no beat-counting, mixed measuring, variable speed and sheer complexity, and nothing to hold on. This meant radical rearrangement of this so beautiful track the cutting of which can either produce a complete failure or unspeakable beauty.
Taking a listen to Miles’ style of playing, he sounds so different from other trumpet players. He played so melodically, using long, legato notes and rarely using fast fingers or an extremely high range to show off his talent. It is his simplicity in rhythmic structure that made him so brilliant and accessible. His beautiful tone fits Sketches of Spain better than possibly any of his other albums, simply because the atmosphere revolves around him. Here, there are no splashy swing beats and rapid bass walking. Sketches of Spain works as an orchestral, beautiful, flowing tribute to Spain, and is one of Miles’ best compilations with Gil Evans. Sketches of Spain is much more than a jazz album. Instruments include bassoon, French horn, and bass clarinet, some of the furthest instruments from jazz possible. With 27 musicians, the album puts Miles Davis in the grandest and most epic project he ever participated in. Although only five tracks long, Sketches of Spain spans over 40 minutes of slow, smooth music. Miles constantly takes the lead, playing either on trumpet or flugelhorn and utilizing his style to its greatest capacity. The orchestral swells and climatic pseudo-jazz shout choruses mixed together create one of the most original sounds ever. Amazingly, two out of five songs are not originals. The epic of the album and the most famous song from the Gil Evans/Miles Davis era, Concierto de Aranjuez, is an original composition from Joaquin Rodrigo. Taken at a slow adagio, the song grows and falls brilliantly, climaxing at huge trumpet choruses. Miles, as always, leads along the softer sections, using his trumpet for this song. The Spanish atmosphere sets itself perfectly, making one of the best Miles songs ever as well as the standout on the album. With Miles’ chops in full form, the trumpet choruses never sounded better.
Solea, the closer and an epic song even in comparison to Concierto de Aranjuez. The song’s main groove feels almost like background music to a James Bond movie. It’s sneaky, quiet, and intense, yet still not distracting. The song slowly increases in volume while Miles solos throughout the entire song.
