Few Miles Davis albums are as deeply rooted in a specific place as Sketches of Spain. Yet the Spain imagined by Miles Davis and Gil Evans was always an outsider's vision—an inspired interpretation rather than an immersion in Spanish musical traditions.
That became the starting point for trumpeter Erik Truffaz and saxophonist-singer Antonio Lizana, who revisit the album by bringing authentic flamenco voices back into the conversation, with their band featuring dancer Ana Perez, Renaud Gabriel Pion (bass clarinet, English horn, arrangements), Pau Figueres (guitar), Arin Keshishi (electric bass), Manuel De la Torre (drums) and Vincent Thomas (percussions).
