Sketches Of Spain – Davis, Miles – LP – Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

Miles Davis and Gil Evans collaborated on high-concept projects three different times during their celebrated careers. For their final act, they created Sketches of Spain, a peak moment in each luminary’s legacy. The transformative album weds Spanish themes, lush orchestrations, romantic timbres, and Davis’ increasingly lyrical methods in a tender ceremony that resonates more than six decades after its original release in 1960. Seldom, if ever, did Davis ever so expressively and liberally paint with color. And in Evans, he has a likewise-minded partner to help draw out tones, shades, layers, and textures. What they achieved continues to draw praise from the global music community. Ranked #358 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and deemed “a work of unparalleled grace and lyricism” by noted scribe J.D. Considine, the
Grammy Award-winning effort has never sounded or looked better.
