Released in 1960 ‘Sketches of Spain’ incorporates elements of Spanish music, including flamenco and classical influences, into the jazz idiom. The album features lush orchestral arrangements, with Davis’s trumpet playing front and centre, creating a rich tapestry of sound.

One of the standout tracks on the album is the adaptation of Rodrigo’s ‘Concierto de Aranjuez,’ a classical guitar concerto. Davis’s interpretation of this piece is particularly notable for its emotional depth and haunting beauty. While Joaquin Rodrigo’s compositions provided much of the inspiration for the album, it’s essential to note the significant role of arranger and composer Gil Evans who Davis had previously collaborated with groundbreaking album ‘Miles Ahead’.
