LP Pressing on 180-Gram Vinyl

This 1960 album is one of the most celebrated in Davis’ vast catalog, and was the third conceptual album he recorded with Gil Evans. Recorded between November 1959 and March 1960, after John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley had left the band, Davis teamed with Canadian arranger Gil Evans for the third time. 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.
