Sketches of Spain

Sketches of Spain was a 1960 album by Miles Davis, pairing him again with arranger and composer Gil Evans. It was considered to be one of the smoothest and most accessible albums of Davis's career, though some contemporaries accused him of selling out to commercial pressure. In 2002 it was listed at number 356 on the list of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
