In fact, Miles himself had discovered Joaquin Rodrigo's \"Concierto De Aranjuez\" and flamenco at the same time - thanks to an anthology brought back from Spain by actress Beverly Bentley and a concert to which Frances Taylor had taken him\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result was majestic music in which Gil Evans bypassed the kitsch of Rodrigo's original score and, with the help of Miles' imposing trumpet, was able to hold his own. Along with the Adagio from the \"Concierto\", Gil Evans borrowed Manuel de Falla's \"Will O' The Wisp\" and adapted \"The Pan Piper\" from a panpipe aria recorded by Lomax in Galicia, and \"Saeta\" from a ritual song of the same name sung to accompany the brass bands that accompanied the processions in Seville during Holy Week. In this last piece and in \"Solea\", Miles drew from the embers of flamenco singing while at the same time distancing himself from all traces of folklore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal edition: Columbia LP CS 8271 dated 18 July 1960\u003cbr\u003eProducers: Teo Macero and Irving Townsend (titles 1, 7 and 8), Teo Macero (titles 2-6):Engineer: Fred Plaut\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20.
