Released in 1960 “Sketches of Spain” incorporates elements of Spanish music, including flamenco and classical influences, into the jazz idiom. The album features lush orchestral arrangements, with Davis’s trumpet playing front and center, creating a rich tapestry of sound. One of the standout tracks on the album is the adaptation of Rodrigo’s “Concierto de Aranjuez”, a classical guitar concerto. Davis’s interpretation of this piece is particularly notable for its emotional depth and haunting beauty.

While Joaquín Rodrigo’s compositions provided much of the inspiration for the album, it’s essential to note the significant role of arranger and composer Gil Evans who Davis had previously collaborated with groundbreaking album “Miles Ahead”. Evans’s arrangements on “Sketches of Spain” are masterful, blending the traditional Spanish elements with Davis’s trumpet playing and the orchestral accompaniment.

“Sketches of Spain” had a profound influence on jazz and beyond: its success demonstrated that jazz could incorporate elements from other musical traditions without losing its identity. The album inspired countless musicians to explore new sounds and genres, paving the way for future experiments in fusion and world music.

Ermitage Records is one of the longest-running independent record labels specializing in classical and jazz music. Born in the mid-eighties with the publication of some vinyl records by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, it later released CDs of the world’s leading opera, symphonic and chamber artists.

It has always stood out for the quality of its recordings, the careful selection of its repertoire and the care of its editions. Thanks to its constant commitment to the enhancement and publication of musical heritage, the label has become an important point of reference for collectors and music enthusiasts from all over the world.

Along with names such as *Rubinstein*, *Callas*, *Pollini*, *Benedetti Michelangeli* and *Segovia*, over the years the label’s production - distributed in Europe, Japan and the USA - has expanded to artists such as Lucio Dalla, Eugenio Finardi or Stefano Bollani.
