Description

Trumpeter Lew Soloff is joined by the 19-piece Harmonie Ensemble New York conducted by Steve Richman for their interpretation of Miles Davis' Sketches of Spain.

"It's hard to imagine that anyone could have taken on a more structurally challenging project than to update Davis' Sketches Of Spain (Columbia, 1960)and do it well. Trumpeter Lew Soloff and conductor Steve Richman have not only stepped up to that plate, they have produced a work that breathes new life into the original." - Karl Ackerman, AllAboutJazz.com, October 29, 2010

"Side-by-side comparisons tend to negate the matter of artistic choice, but they are inevitable when so many elements are shared by two versions of the same work. Suffice to say that the SoloffRichman version of Sketches Of Spain stands on its own merits as an outstanding work in the niche of symphonic jazz. While much credit goes to Richman's vision, it is Soloff's improvisational skills that step into sacred ground and enhance the original without deconstructing it entirely." - Karl Ackerman, AllAboutJazz.com, October 29, 2010
