Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain Album

One of his most successful and controversial offerings, the Sketches of Spain album from Miles Davis' proves that the jazz great was a giant among his peers. With its emphasis on flamenco-filled orchestrations, and easy tempos, is certainly has to be known as one of Davis's most mellow recording and it proved to have mass appeal. To some critics, however, the project was "elevated elevator music." But even those who commented negatively about the album, acknowledged Davis' incalculable influence on jazz music and indeed all genres of popular music. He is still the standard that jazz recording artists are measured by.
