Concerto De Anranjuez ~18.7MB mp3, 16-minutes long.→[More:]

This was originally a guitar piece and is the first track on Miles Davis' 1959 masterpiece collaboration with Gill Evans, Sketches of Spain.

More about Miles and Gil here.

This music was composed by Joaquín Rodrigo as the first movement of a concerto for guitar. He wrote it on a specialized musical typewriter, one for the blind. I encourage you to listen to the rest of it.

If you like Miles Davis and if you like movies, he reduxed the feeling in a way as the score for the 1987 film Siesta.

I <3 Ellen Barkin.

R.I.P. Gil Evans.

Fuck. Dial. Up. It'll be hear for breakfast if you are North American. By that time Jazz will be like soggy toast. God damn why do things go wrong?

If you have come this far listen to some Little Feat:

It is no coincidence that a horseshoe is so shaped... All the links except mine should work. I'm uploading now.
