Sketches of Spain, the last of the three, is a dazzling work, not only for the glowing, magisterial orchestrations, but for the stunning solo work by Davis, among his most expressive and affecting. The centerpiece of the album is a November 1959 recording of the adagio from "Concierto de Aranjuez," a 20th century Spanish composition by Joaquin Rodrigo. The band plays with beauty and splendor, content to stick closely to the score. The remaining tracks were recorded in March of the following year. "Will O' the Wisp" comes from a Manuel de Falla ballet while "The Pan Piper" is based on a mystical Peruvian Indian folk melody. The final two tracks are adaptations of old Andalusian flamenco. "Saeta" is a religious march tune that quiets in the middle to allow Davis' mournful, wailing horn the spotlight. "Solea" builds slowly atop the lightly prancing percussion of Jimmy Cobb, Elvin Jones, and crew, a blend of Latin polyrhythms and modal jazz. Davis' inspired improvisations on these two tracks are on another plane, smoldering with emotion.

老迈和吉尔伊文斯合作的三部曲的终篇,在爵士乐史上绝无仅有的一次尝试。此录音源自于老迈被朋友播放的阿兰胡埃斯协奏曲所深深吸引。这里老迈的小号代替了原曲中的吉他,极富挑战性,不过火候把握的却恰到好处。其余的则是改编自一张印第安民歌唱片,都很出色,尤其是一首西班牙进行曲"Saeta"。

这张对西班牙弗朗明戈的借鉴,同charles mingus的黑圣人一样精彩,老迈的小号主导着庞杂的交响,但也谦逊地融进其中。
