HE CAN READ MY MIND AND I CAN READ HIS – Miles Davis sobre Gil Evans
Sketches of Spain was the third collaboration (after Miles Ahead, 1957, and Porgy and Bess, 1958) between Miles Davis and Gil Evans for Columbia Records, and reunited the charismatic trumpeter with Gil Evans (1912-1988) following the 1959 recording of Kind of Blue. It is in these late ’50s recordings that Miles Davis (1926-1991) emerged as one of the supreme lyric-expressive players in jazz, representing as well a high point in his career and the culmination—at least temporarily—of a decade-long artistic/stylistic journey.
