Sketches of Spain was Miles Davis and Gil Evans’ third conceptual album and included a superb Evans’ arrangement of Joaquín Rodrigo’s “Concierto de Aranjuez.”. Contemporary Down Beat reviewer Bill Mathieu gave the album five stars, stating that is was “one of the most important musical triumphs that this century has yet produced. It brings together under the same aegis tworealms that in the past have often worked against one another –the world of the heart and the world of the mind.” Special Edition with cover and back cover photos by Jean-Pierre Leloir (1931-2010), who captured some of the most iconic images of jazz life in France during the 1950s and the 1960.
