I played White Rabbit by George Benson recently and also had that reaction of "this may be a version of Sketches of Spain that actually works for me", as much as I love the conventional Sketches of Spain

This is one of my favourite post 1980 Miles Davis albums and has a special meaning to me:  It´s definitly "Night Music"....I have to listen to late in the night, if I have a certain mood, a kind of "state of grace" or a semi trance.....and it´s beautiful, BEAUTIFUL !!! I heard it in late 1987 the first time. I never forget that night. A few hours before, my first son was born, I was there when he was born....and when I finally got back home....this was the first time I heard that great music and never will forget that moment. Yesterday I had a long drive thru the night, not a highway drive, it was just "drum național” thru the country and I had that wonderful feelings, that deep feeling of purest love because I got the most beautiful girl I ever saw..... and again..... that music on the USB in my car.  It may be a sacrilege from the point of view of the elder generation, but I prefer this kind of "Spanish Feeling" to "Scetches of Spain", maybe it´s a question of generation, but as great as Miles´ trumpet is and as much I love the theme of Concierto de Aranjuez, nevertheless I never really could get warm with the Gil Evans sound, it sounds a bit to western classical music, to "serious" for my tastes maybe, too little emotion for my restless soul... my fault, no question, but I am more towards sounds like that, and Markus Miller did a great job on it.  And Miles.....who says that his playing after his comeback was weaker, he has that great sound, pure genius !
