For 1960's Sketches Of Spain Davis pairs up with composer Gil Evans and a 19-piece band to produce what has been called one of the most difficult scores in jazz music. But Davis makes even the most difficult of music sound absolutely effortless presenting some of the most dramatic and breathtakingly brooding solos of his career. Said one critic: "It is as if Miles had been born of Andalusian gypsies but, instead of picking up the guitar, had decided to make a trumpet the expression of his cante hondo (deep song)". SIDE A: 1. Concierto de Aranjuez 2. Will O' The Wisp
SIDE B: 1. The Pan Piper 2. Saeta 3. Solea
