Down Beat original review: Sketches of Spain
“This recording is one of the most important musical triumphs that this century has yet produced. It brings together under the same aegis two realms that in the past have often worked against one another –the world of the heart and the world of the mind. To Davis and Evans goes not the distinction of five or 10 or a zillion stars in a review rating, but the burden of continuing to show us the way.” (Bill Mathieu)

“Gil Evans made that orchestra sound like one big guitar.” (Miles Davis)
