“I ve always inclined to Spanish music... I got it from the French Impressionists first, and then, of course, from Spanish composers like De Falla.” Gil Evans
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.
