A wonderful tribute to the Alhambra and the City of Granada. . .
It IS the early morning sun rising over the city of Granada as you stand on the rooftop terrace of the Alhambra. I've been there and "heard" the music of Miles in my head as the sun came up; and, the day began. I have never experienced a "truer" tone poem! What more can I say. . .

sketches of spain is a classic
I was turned on to Miles Davis music by the recent movie Miles Ahead. This was mentioned as one of his early classics. It is more than your ordinary jazz collection; the classical music influences are everywhere. It might seem like a good choice as easy listening for a long drive, but the depth and variety of the music is almost distracting. And when those horns break out you'd swear all the cars on the street are honking at you. After listening to it four times, I can only say I'm looking forward to the fifth. A very high quality recording.
