Chano Dominguez: Flamenco Sketches
Jul 12th, 2012 by mallen
“Flamenco Sketches began as a commission from the Barcelona Jazz Festival to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue. The album is a re-visioned reading of the compositions on the iconic Davis album — in different order — as well as two other Davis compositions, “Nardis” (which he never recorded) and “Serpent’s Tooth,” from the trumpeter’s Prestige years. Ultimately, Flamenco Sketches is a triumph, a fully realized portrait of Davis’ music that showcases Dominguez as a brilliant pianist and arranger at the top of his game.”–All Music Guide
