专辑介绍
勇于创新的爵士大师Miles Davis于1960年推出的一张专辑，在这张专辑中他尝试融入了西班牙风格的音乐元素，令人耳目一新。当有人质疑“这还是不是爵士乐”的时候， Miles的答复是：“这是音乐，而且我喜欢”（&it's music, and I like it&）。确实，只要是好听的音乐，有何必拘泥于分类。
这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第356位。

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. Recorded between November 1959 and March 1960 -- after Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley had left the band -- Davis teamed with British arranger Gil Evans for the third time. Davis brought Evans the album's signature piece, &Concierto de Aranjuez,& after hearing a classical version of it at bassist Joe Mon's house. Evans was as taken with it as Davis was, and set about to create an entire album of material around it. The result is a masterpiece of modern art. On the &Concierto,& Evans' arrangement provided an orchestra and jazz band -- Paul Chambers, Jimmy Cobb, and Elvin Jones -- the opportunity to record a classical work as it was. The piece, with its stunning colors and intricate yet transcendent adagio, played by Davis on a flügelhorn with a Harmon mute, is one of the most memorable works to come from popular culture in the 20th century. Davis' control over his instrument is singular, and Evans' conducting is flawless. Also notable are &Saeta,& with one of the most amazing technical solos of Davis' career, and the album's closer, &Solea,& which is conceptually a narrative piece, based on an Andalusian folk song, about a woman who encounters the procession taking Christ to Calvary. She sings the narrative of his passion and the procession -- or parade -- with full brass accompaniment moving along. 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. To listen to it in the 21st century is still a spine-tingling experience, as one encounters a multitude of timbres, tonalities, and harmonic structures seldom found in the music called jazz.

- @我是老B(“音乐让我从时间里解脱出...)：1959年，迈尔斯戴维斯走进一位贝斯手朋友位于洛杉矶的家，这位西班牙人的后裔正在播放西班牙盲人作曲家华金罗德戈的《阿兰胡埃斯协奏曲》。乔说迈尔斯听听这个，你应该做这个音乐。妈的，这种音乐的旋律线太强了，徘徊在脑中久久无法散去。回到纽约，迈尔斯找来了吉尔埃文斯，重编了这首曲子。
