	MusicSearcher.com: Miles Davis \| Sketches Of Spain/Kind Of Blue/In A Silent Way [3-CD SET] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Kind Of Blue, Sketches of Spain and In A Silent Way are three of Miles Davis's finest works, equally recommended whether you are a seadoned jazz fan or simply curious.
		Both Kind of Blue and Sketches of Spain are presented in their latest remastered state but the version of In A Silent way that is included is an older version with inferior sound.
		Sketches of Spain is 1 of 3 collaborations w/ Gil Evans, w/ a different sort of sound, again quite listenable.

	Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain: Reviews, Track Listing, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		Along with Kind of Blue [+], In a Silent Way [+], and Round About Midnight [+], Sketches of Spain [+] is one of Miles Davis [+]' most enduring and innovative achievements.
		Cobb and Jones, with flamenco-flavored percussion, are particularly wonderful here, as they allow the orchestra to indulge in the lushly passionate arrangement Evans provided to accompany Davis, who was clearly at his most challenged here, though he delivers with grace and verve.
		Sketches of Spain [+] is the most luxuriant and stridently romantic recording Davis ever made.

	Sketches of Spain, Sony, Miles Davis, Gil Evans
		Sketches of Spain, though one of Davis's most commercially successful sessions, is also one of his most controversial.
		Sketches of Spain, with its emphasis on flamenco, rich orchestrations, and relaxed tempos, is certainly one of Davis's most mellow recordings (he even works out on fluegelhorn), and proved to have broad appeal.
		If you like Jazz, Sketches of Spain is magnificent, but I think there is a truer form of Miles Davis rendition than this one.

		The centerpiece of SKETCHES OF SPAIN is the Evans/Davis treatment of the second movement of Rodrigo's "Concierto De Aranjuez." Evans' charts engage Davis in a shifting, insistent dialogue, italicizing the trumpeter's subtle variations and timbral ecstasies with magnificent orchestral flourishes.
		The surreal patina of three flutes and harp, high muted trumpets and woodwinds, and subterranean trombones, French horns and tuba that define one of the main variations on the theme, is a majestic foil for Davis' expressive tones.
		SKETCHES OF SPAIN stands alone as one of the pillars of modern music.

	The American Jazz Institute - Events
		One of the most significant arrangers in jazz history, Gil Evans' three album-length collaborations with Miles Davis (Miles Ahead, Porgy and Bess and Sketches of Spain) are all considered classics.
		Other than sketching out a framework and contributing his keyboard, he seemed to let the orchestra largely run itself, inspiring rather than closely directing the music.
		"Sketches of Spain: Homage to Gil Evans" is a presentation of AJI and the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies.

		The original masters of Miles Ahead (1957), Porgy and Bess (1958) and Sketches of Spain (1960) are here in all their glory, their rich textures perhaps never heard better than in these digital remasterings.
		The Sketches of Spain sessions were his only studio work for 23 months.
		In the end, the results more than justified his faith in the score, but it was four more months before he returned to the studio to record the rest of the music for Sketches of Spain.

	Sketches of Spain - Liner Notes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		I don´t know what it is that has made Sketches my all time favorite piece of music, beyond category, even beyond Coltrane, which in my case would be the obvious choice.
		Sketches succeeds in placing me spiritually and sensually in a world different from the one I am in when I hear it.
		Sketches makes me feel more human, an integral part of the history and evolution of mankind, and the epic story which is human history.

		As Dave Liebman says above, Sketches of Spain is his all time favorite piece of music which is a good starting place to explain how eventually he came to perform and record it.
		Forever identified with Miles Davis and Gil Evans as the third jewel in their musical necklace (Miles Ahead and Porgy and Bess being the other two) fashioned for Columbia Records between 1957 and 1960, it is perhaps the most personal for Davis for what it elicited from him in terms of feeling.
		One doesn't have to compare his version of Sketches of Spain with Miles Davis' recording.

	Sketches of Spain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		But for me Concierto De Aranjuez, which opened Sketches of Spain, has become so Miles that I can't listen to the work performed as Rodrigo intended - with a guitar - and I much prefer the CD to Miles Ahead, which was recorded a little earlier with Gill Evans and the orchestra.
		But the trumpet sound on Sketches of Spain - and sometimes Miles "calls" almost like a blues, and the track 'Saeta' is almost a muezzin call to prayer - is just as committed.
		Rather than softening the brass so as not to drown out the acoustic guitar, the volume was raised in Davis' rendition and now the powerful solo trumpet carries on a dialog with an occasionally competing, and at other times counterpointal, brass section.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Sketches Of Spain [Remaster] - Miles Davis at Epinions.com
		Sketches of Spain was not the first album I thought of when it was suggested I review Miles Davis.
		Sketches of Spain (1959) came about during one of Davis’ best and most prolific musical periods.
		Sketches of Spain in the end took Davis’ affinity for Spanish music as evidenced in songs like Flamenco Sketches (Kind of Blue) and Blues for Pablo (Miles Ahead) and extended it into a modern jazz concerto.

	Filmmaker Magazine \| Summer 1994: SKETCHES OF SPAIN
		To make matters worse, Spain is in the throes of the sexual revolution and an infatuation with disco.
		Fred’s woes are of a political nature, fueled by post-Franco Spain’s distrust of the American military, and its misinformed opinions about U.S. politics – the Spanish characters insist that the AFL-CIO, a trade union, is really the "AFL-CIA," an insidious terrorist organization.
		Since his graduation from Harvard in 1973, Stillman knew that he wanted to be a filmmaker, but it wasn’t until he lived overseas that he got his first job in the film industry, albeit the Spanish film industry.

		'Sketches of Spain' is based in part on Spanish compositions, most notably Joaquin Rodrigo's "Concerto de Aranjuez" and Manuel de Falla's "El Amor Brujo." A small orchestra is conducted by Gil Evans supporting Miles' haunting trumpet sound.
		The original release of 'Sketches of Spain' was on the Columbia '6 eye' label, and the earliest pressings have a "deep-groove", meaning that a groove is pressed into the vinyl in the label area, about 1 3/4" around the spindle hole.
		I would not personally rank 'Sketches' in the very top drawer of best sounding Miles Davis records, but a good pressing is very good sounding indeed.

	Miles Davis remembered at Carnegie Hall
		The importance of these two LP albums in the evolution of jazz and American popular music cannot be overestimated.
		The "Porgy and Bess" LP established Davis as a major recording artist on the pop charts and "Sketches of Spain" sold extremely well on the classical market.
		Evans' arrangements for the "Porgy and Bess" selections (all 13 of them) call for 18 musicians; "Sketches of Spain" utilizes 20.

	Sketches Of Spain by Miles Davis CD
		Sketches of Spain was recorded in 1959, just a few months following the recordings for Kind of Blue.
		The only deficiencies in the CD are the two alternate takes on Concierto de Aranjuez, but this does illustrate the difficulty level of the score by Gil Evans and the brilliant performance by Miles Davis in the originally released recording of Concierto.
		Of lesser importance, the inclusion of Song of Our Country in the CD (also not in the originally released version of Sketches) is at once puzzling - particularly in view of similar spanish-theme collaborations by Miles and Gil in the 1957 recording of Miles Ahead Miles Davis +19.

		In Sketches Of Spain, the two have gone on to challenge themselves even further.
		Evans' sketch for Miles looked complex, but Miles seemed to have no difficulty improvising around it.
		He had already demonstrated in his "Flamenco Sketches" (Kind Of Blue, CL 1355/CS 8163) and "Blues For Pablo" with Gil Evans (Miles Ahead, CL 1041) a basic affinity with the Spanish musical temperament and sinuous rhythms.

		While Miles Ahead and Porgy and Bess both have obvious roots in big band writing, Sketches of Spain delves into material that was generally not in the mainstream at the time.
		Sketches of Spain has its genesis in the slow movement of the Rodrigo Concierto di Arguanez, one of the most beloved pieces of classical music out of Spain.
		Sketches of Spain does feature Miles, but the real star of the album is the arranging.

		Though not as well-known as his later sketches of the Holy Land and Egypt, these lithographs helped to establish Roberts as a topographical artist and aided his election as a Royal Academician in 1841.
		Roberts being dissatisfied with the quality of many of the lithographs, worked on many of the lithographic stones himself, erasing some of the original engravings.

		"Porgy and Bess" and "Kind of Blue," that is. The Rodrigo theme from the Concierto de Arjuanez was not nearly as well known back when "Sketches of Spain" was recorded as it is now, and I'd imagine that the recording introduced many people to it.

		It would be all to easy to go off and review 'Kind Of Blue' and churn out the standard 'Best jazz album ever made' lines along with everyone else - but for this reviewer, 'Sketches Of Spain' is, in many respects, the superior piece.
		Strange that some reviewers expected Sketches of Spain to sound like Kind of Blue - well, no, it doesn't.
