Sketches of Spain

[silverpairaducks]

I was at this.I cried it was so good.Fuck asshole who thinks he soud be a Miles clone.

[StrangeLobster87]

very talented trumpet player!!!!!!!!

[espirito999]

I guess i was one the first who bought Sketches in Spain decades ago. Incredibly good, both orchestra and the trumpet soloist are fantastic - I'm sure Evans would agree.

[TheSupertrombonist]

i know his name, his name is orbert davis, and he is my jazz band teacher, that is why i am thesupertrombonist :P

[MrHenigans]

Why should he sound like Miles Davis? He ain't Miles Davis and no need to compare him to Miles.

Though I didn't care for some of the high notes, he did a great job & so did the rest of the musicians. He gave it Spanish flair & his interpretation of Miles & Evans treatment is really nice. Bravo!!

[rjdivitto]

I only ask my audence just to take the time out and listen

"Miles on Sketches Of Spain" with a special duet by "Randy Di Vitto / Miles Davis"

Iam on Facebook

[Max1baL]

Wonderful performance!

¡Maravillosa ejecución!

[vitorio846]

@Max1baL . el sabor del flamenco es otro ,tecnicamente esta bien, pero los flamenco son todo sentimiento y el es muy tecnico pero a veces parece estudio de trompeta,eso no es solea, esa es la diferencia con Miles . un genio en cada tema de Sketches of Spain !!Digo yo !!

[DANiie65]

Amazing song Im going to have tis played at my wedding:)

[skakisla]

same 6 unmusically educated low life guys that dislike chick corea i suppose

[LEONCODAJJ]

Es una recreación de la SOLEÁ grabada por MILES DAVIS en 1960 en el disco SKETCHES OF SPAIN , con arreglos de GIL EVANS. La SOLEÁ es un estilo emblemático de los gitanos (y no gitanos) españoles que interpretan flamenco (para algunos el más importantedel flamenco ). Tiene una estructura rítmica cíclica de 12 tiempos que se suelen seguir así : 1,2-1,2,3 - 4,5,6 - 7,8,9,10, siendo el 3 y el 10 los más importantes (donde el cantaor canta con más intensidad o la bailaora levanta los brazos, etc).

[vitorio846]

@LEONCODAJJ eres una persona que sabe lo que es el flamenco. felitaciones.

[04steen]

@LEONCODAJJ Gracias. Un placer leer tu comentario.

[HJKelley47]

Excellente! I am a fan of Miles Davis' music, and have been for the past 55 yrs, however, I have to give credit where it is due. This man has talent, and the overall performance is very well done! (Also knew Miles personally, and heard his music played in my living room--and even Miles would appreciate this rendition.)

[teej1980]

miles would hate a copycat - he would like this guy for giving it his own voice, but still tipping his hat to miles. that's a tough card to play.

[Riquerod]

Sounds just like the real thing, many compliments!

[marksjazzmusic]

Just to clarify, the trumpet player is Orbert Davis, not Jeremy Pelt. The group is the Chicago Jazz Ensemble. This was recorded in 1996. If you're looking for Miles' version, its called Solea. What a first rate performance!!!

[renbov]

merci pour Miles Davis je ne connaissais pas ce morceau

[renholderoff]

The Trumpet player is Jeremy Pelt. He's probably on of the baddest players out there right now. Much respect

[renholderoff]

[hapzap13]

Oh yeah !!!!

[vierba73]

Cuidadin con el Miles Davis, si señor.

[bagoona]

he did ok technically ...but no heart...no soul. Sounds like an Army bugler

[jumpinjoe88]

@bagoona I thought it was good.

[davpons]

¿quien es este trompetista? excelente... soberbio...

[marta742]

ouaou!!!!!!!!!

[Finnbiffen]

Fantastic!

[1Th1617]

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[lf4317]

Davis clearly has his own awesome style. I hear the influences of Miles, Hubbard and others. Influence is not the same as "trying to to sound like Miles"

[Goodpuncher]

check out 1:06... the fingering

[RojoPirata]

OUTSTANDING!!!

[gkanyzc24]

he is good

[Goodpuncher]

Good? LOL! The Dude Burnt the house down!

[michaelhutchinson]

GREAT !!

[satziebaby]

Who is the horn player...who is this orchestra.....

[janelsee]

Orbert Davis and the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic.

[jameslol]

Fucking awesome

[QuellBC]

Is there a video on youtube of Miles playing this? Maybe i'm not looking hard enough, but yeah i can't find it.

BTW, i wouldn't say this guys a bad player, he definately catches the mood and the tone to make it good... not sounding like Miles though, mind you.

[ChristianGastl]

do you think he should even try to sound like Miles? you cant do that. the only thing you could do is: play YOUR version of the song. and these people did a good job i think! (;

[mxmontiel]

that is a fantastic player. who is he?

[jtsby2k1]

Why do so many smart asses post on here? This guy did a great job, he sounds enough like Miles and he's a great trumpeter in his own right.. I wonder what his name is.

[bagoona]

@jtsby2k1 He did an admirable job ... u have tin ear.

[harr9685]

@bagoona  Sorry, bagoona, seems like you lose.

[bagoona]

@harr9685 ...Don`t care if he`s Ron Jeremy...he`s still an army bugler "next" to Miles.

[jtsby2k1]

@bagoona I said he did an admirable job! read my comment properly.

[bagoona]

@jtsby2k1 He did a Good job J, Not a Great job. Take the wax outta yr ears or go rent a soul

[iTimeLapsei]

@jtsby2k1 His name is Orbert Davis, he's a very successful and inspiring Chicago musician and educator. This was a huge undertaking and he was one of the main people (if not the main person) that pulled the performance together over years.

[duhjuce]

Nice tribute ....now post Miles Davis please.

[scottwbutler]

That IS not Miles Davis. Dosent sound like him or look like him, But very nice music. Ck some of the recordings made with Gil Evans, Now THAT is Miles Davis Sir.

[megaman8484]

what the fuk its upside down??

[tlacatl]

Pf. Davis, This is fantastic! I wish I could have been there to see it live.

[4099aj]

Great stuff

[DystopianFuture2day]

Very cool. I wish you'd give us more information on the performance. What band is this? Who is the soloist? When was the performance?

[3Dmovies]

i am so glad he's my professor and and director, we get to hear him play every so often in class, i actually recorded it a couple times great stuff

[Poetryisalive]

favorite part 2:46

[Poetryisalive]

Yeah, this dude did his thing. First time I heard someone plays Miles Davis music like they had a PAIR!

[b2please]

I agree. He did a great job.

[ilTroubadori]

simply one of the best arrangements ever..how people get off on the popular chart crap i just don't know..

[SkaMusicGotSoul]

amazing

[315770]

no te olvides.. dubai  MFS

[hippitybippitybop]

Nothing short of "FANTASTIC"!!!!!!! Bravissimo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Miles and Gil would have loved the back-up orchestra!

[Poetryisalive]

I agree

[lemonite1]

this guy is not a sluurrry as Miles. but i like his take, he's strong. is this the album where Miles and Gil wrote every single note out and meticulously organized the sheets on the floor?

[parbatric]

esto es escepcional...

Miles Devis es un ejemplo para todos los músicos del mundo

[pablosaxo]

incredibleee!!!!

[pablosaxo]

incredibleee!!!!

[vinnievibes]

VERY COOL!!! Sounds great. Is the arrangement for sale??? What's it called?

Greetz

VinnieVibes

[pixiehopper8]

Mr  Davis is obviously a musician who has studied Miles extensively. He REALLY sounds like him at times. Great player...cool to hear this piece played live, too.

[aylaclare]

Oh, the goosebumps! This has to be the BEST track on Sketches of Spain.

[torohec]

you must have only heard a few versions of Concierto de Aranjuez(proper name of song).

[jwma7]

You are incorrect. This is not a movement of Rodrigo's Concierto. This piece is called "Solea" (Evans)

[jwma7]

You're wrong. This piece is entitled Solea (Evans). Not a pert of Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez.

[WebRider16]

The trumpet soloist in this video is my good Professor, the world famous Orbert Davis. He's a jazz instructor at UIC, the conductor of the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic, and he's got quite a few CD's out as well.

[FriendofQuentin]

mine too (professor)

[WebRider16]

Do you go to UIC too?

[Jitpring]

Hey, this guy's actually better than Miles! Who is he?

[mastertrumpetissimo]

That was amazing.

[Hgclaw]

this ensemble did miles davis so proud. RESPECT!

[mastertrumpetissimo]

great trumpet playing man

[ddrummer13]

Superior peformance

[tropicalpimp]

this was AWESOME!!! Band was great,trumpet top noch! buen echo! R.I.P. MILES DAVIS & GIL EVANS

[morritoz17]

que es esto?

[atomik1984]

inculto, se llama música, y en concreto miles davis uno de los grandes trompetistas de la historia del jazz

[morritoz17]

venga ya! lo que no entiendo es porque se llama asi el video y yo no te he insultado a ti tu no me tienes que faltar el respeto

[zaia3957]

thank u for posting this, this is such a beautiful piece. i love the album. sketches of spain is my fav miles album. so, once again - THANK YOU!

[sicilianbabe8]

Very nice. Miles would be proud. One of my all time favorite albums--Sketches of Spain. I always liked that drum-beat in this piece.

[piostal]

Great video. Enjoyed the interpretation. Thank you for posting this.

[brittonalex]

is cool

[linkjm]

hey returnsanecho, sounds like you were already born with it

[returnsanecho]

i may sound nuts, but i want a vinyl record of sketches of spain buried along with me.

[returnsanecho]

i mean when i die of course, haha.

[AshleyAnn20]

ew why? he used to beat the crap out of his wife!

[DEGAUSS138]

who did?

[Durova]

Miles Davis was a musical genius, but his relations with women left a lot to be desired. Read his autobiography.

[kevinm4435]

he had like five wives

[xPythox]

Good, I wish he'd beat the crap out of you too.

[Alibarker89]

Anyone know who this is performing??

[MilesTrane21]

seriously

[mikenourse]

This is the Chicago Jazz Ensemble featuring Orbert Davis on trumpet and the late great Bill Russo conducting. I believe the year was 2003.

[Ausir2001]

Great! Thanks, is he any relations to the late great Miles Davis.

[mikenourse]

Unfortunately no.

[apreachnorganist]

Orbert Davis or CHicago, IL

[thekdguy]

This is a classic example of excellent showmanship.

Keep posting this sweet stuff and youll make director in no time.
