I'm about to review the album
Spoonful was a bonus track, and although rather fun, it doesn't really fit in with the original album's sounscapes, like the other three previous bonus tracks. Hwever, the one preceding the album proper is a perfect complement. Edited by Sean Trane - 06 Apr 2012 at 7:01am |

I love Ole but I went with Davis in the end, forgot about the poll for a while.
Interested to hear 'Spoonful' by Evans, from the 'Individualism...' album too |

Maaaaan!!!! I'm in the middle of a Gil Evans exploration, and Sketches Of Spain is more of a Gil affair than a Miles album, really!!! He's the one pushing the Rodrigo influences on that album... miles is just the soloist.
Had to stop on the side of the road coming back last nist from work, because I was listening to Las Vegas Tango (from The Individualism of GE), because I was unable to concentrate on driving , getting drown in my tearsof joy, listening to that track... awesome... especially when the upper brass section is giving those three burst, answered by the low-brass section's almost-farting answer... Just too much to handle...

I've added it to my list! Surprised I didn't think of it before, I remember looking into it years ago, but this is a nice reminder to get it |

Ah, another good choice - maybe one day I should add Mingus & Corea to a poll, The Best of Spain! Great suggestion, Sean. Yeah, I agree, Gil & Miles vs John at this point. |

Corea's "My Spanish Heart" is closest to "Sketches Of Spain" of all Chick's solo and RTF releases (and extremely great album )

Well, I'd have put Mingus' Tijuana Moods for a third stooge in this poll, as this one dates from 57 (but released only in 62), as opposed to 59 for SoS and Olé from 61....
SoS is as much a Gil Evans album (if not more) than it is a Miles album, so it's kind of a 2 on 1 against Trane
haven't decided yet what I'll vote.

Yes, I agree, it was a great album on the heels of Miles'. 'Ole' is definitely up there with 'Giant Steps' and ' A Love Supreme' etc, definitely. Edited by dreadpirateroberts - 28 Mar 2012 at 12:00am |

Yeah, definitely, one of my favs! Actually, that one isn't a bad fit thematically, especially with 'El Mar' among others - which is interesting for a 'pop-jazz' release, huh?
I do have the first two RTF albums, which I do like a lot, the song 'Spain' is ace! I should have thought of them. Which of Chick's solo albums have that tone? |

I went to "Ole". The album thinks me to be of high quality like Giant Steps. The ballad album is a bit boring for me. However, Ole is a good album. I think Coltrane after having withdrawn from Miles group to have announced the good album successively immediately.

George Benson's "White Rabbit" has some jazz goes to Spain music with some Don Sebesky orchestrations, at least I think it is that Benson album.

If you are looking for Spanish flavored jazz (not Latin Jazz mind you) then you might try Chick Corea's "Return to Forever" as well as many of his other albums. Chick comes back to the music of Spain often in his career.

Cool, thanks John. I reckon there'd be a few out there. A song or two off 'Miles Ahead' have a similar feel too.

If you like the orchestrations on "Sketches", Miles Davis "Quiet Nights" is slightly similar, I'll try to think of something better and get back to you.

So Miles - screaming to an early lead. I'll probably go for Miles in the end but I may have to give Ole another few spins and some more thought. It's one of my fav COltrane's.
Any one got an idea of a third album with a similar thematic idea that I could have included?
