Guldbamsen wrote: Sketches of Spain for me. Wonderful album. I tend to spin it whenever I'm on vacation, and whether that's because of the word 'Spain' actually being in the title, I have no idea, but it does work wonders down on the beach late in the afternoon. I prefer Big Fun over BB. An album which was stitched together from the same sessions as BB - only with a big dash of Indian instruments chugged in.

This album was released in 1959 10 years before compared to Bitches Brew released in 1970. Outstanding music, trumpet, perfect frequency dragging you along to every note, also usage of various additional instruments, before Zamfir, the good the bad and the ugly etc. tunes this was the one, this album also got original score album Emmy award, most unique and beyond his time, some tracks might sound familiar now but it's Miles who came up with all this :) a massive hug to you, Guldbamsen xxxx many tunes one can recognize here however all original font here :) xxxxxx

Bitches Brew is my favorite Miles Davis album - and one of my favorite albums of all time - so I may be admittedly biased here.

Without a doubt, Kati! Sketches of Spain is an incredible record, particularly for the reasons you've mentioned above. It's paralleled with Bitches Brew for the level of innovation it provided for the time it was released.

Altough Sketches of Spain is stunning I just find Bitches Brew more exiting. Besides the latter was my first Miles album and has a special place in me getting to know and love jazz.  

BB is crazy, that gets my vote. Much love for Spain though...

Brew always sounded too same-y for me, while Sketches had a really nice sound that no other artists I listen to have made.
