Miles Davis: Sketches Of Spain (Mofi 180g) Vinyl LP
Special audiophile edition on 180 gram vinyl. This album pairs up Miles Davis with arranger and composer Gil Evans. Â The compositions are inspired by traditional Spanish folk music and go in a different direction than the pair's previous two records together. Â Evans' arrangements make effective use of wind instruments where other composers would have turned to strings. Â Flute, trumpet and trombone make the bed for Davis' lead. Â Miles seems to have gained some Andalusian gypsy ancestry with this record. Â His trumpet playing evokes the cante hondo guitar stylings found in folk music from the region. Â When talking about this record Davis is quoted as having said, "I always manage to try something I can't do." Â He appears to wipe that sentiment away with his effortless improvising over the complex score that Evans has crafted. Limited numbered edition featuring half-speed production and mastering by MoFi Sound Lab on the Gain 2 Ultra Analog System.
