To mark the centenary of Miles Davis' birth, celebrated trumpeter Erik Truffaz and flamenco-jazz artist Antonio Lizana present New Sketches of Spain: a contemporary reimagining of one of the trumpeter's most iconic recordings.

Originally inspired by Davis' fascination with Spanish folk music and the country's cultural traditions, Sketches of Spain drew together influences including Joaquín Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez, flamenco and religious processions to create a landmark recording that expanded the possibilities of jazz.

Now, one of Europe's leading voices in electro-jazz, Erik Truffaz joins forces with acclaimed saxophonist and flamenco singer Antonio Lizana to revisit this masterpiece. Respecting the spirit of the original while bringing their own distinctive musical language, New Sketches of Spain offers a fresh perspective on a work whose influence continues to resonate more than six decades later.

“Here lies part of Truffaz's appeal; he places gorgeous jazz that wouldn't appear to be out of place on a 50s Blue Note session right besides contemporary dance rhythms... and he makes it work.”

“The saxophonist and singer from Cádiz is a phenomenon. Who else sings flamenco so fervently and expressively, while simultaneously playing such fiery, jazzy alto sax! The way Lizana seamlessly blends flamenco nuevo with jazz and grooves in his compositions… creates an enchanting fusion that electrified the audience from the very first note to the very last.”
