Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain (1960) torrent

"Flamenco Sketches" serving as a bridge from the straight-ahead cool jazz of “Kind Of Blue” to the adventurous reworking of traditional Spanish music on “Sketches Of Spain”, inspired by Joaquin Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez," “Sketches of Spain” is an exemplary recording of Third Stream, a musical fusion of jazz, European classical, and styles of world music. Along with “Kind of Blue”, “In a Silent Way”, and “Round About Midnight”, “Sketches of Spain” is one of Miles Davis' most enduring and innovative achievements. A masterpiece of modern art.
