I can’t get enough of Miles Davis and can’t believe the prolific nature he had throughout his life, releasing 57 studio albums and countless live albums. Above is Sketches of Spain, a record that feels similar to a movie soundtrack, as said best by one of the comments on the video. Put your mind at ease, lay down, and digest this beautiful record.
