Miles - Sketches of Spain Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

ouque-pique: Another cache that has had a good run but I've had to replace it a number of times. In fact I'd put in a brand new one just a few weeks ago. The cache has gone missing once again. It's a sign: it's time to archive it and open up the space for someone else to hide a new one.

Geocache Description:

A cache placed as a tribute to the hauntingly beautiful collaboration between Miles Davis and Gil Evans, one of my favourite albums.

Une cache placée en hommage à ce disque aux mélodies qui vous hantent et vous ensorcellent créé en collaboration par Miles Davis et Gil Evans - un de mes disques de jazz préférés.


English

This collaboration between Miles Davis and arranger Gil Evans showcases a jazz orchestra treatment of Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez, a work built on one of the most beautiful melodies ever written.  The album includes a number of other pieces inspired by the Spanish tradition; one track entitled Saeta is musical theatre at its most passionate.  The Rolling Stone Album Guide calls Sketches of Spain "a work of unparalleled grace and lyricism”.  In fact, in 2003, the album was ranked number 358 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. When Miles was asked by a critic “But is it jazz?”, he responded, "It's music, and I like it."

The cache is a small camoed bison and contains only a log - you should bring your own pen.  It is hidden just high enough to be easily accessible in winter.  

Parking is available not too far away on nearby sidestreets.

Français

La pièce maîtresse de cette rencontre entre Miles Davis et Gil Evans est un arrangement pour orchestre de jazz du Concierto de Aranjuez de Rodrigo, une oeuvre construite sur une des plus belles mélodies de tout le répertoire musical.  L’album inclut un nombre d’autres pièces inspirées de la tradition musicale espagnole; sur la piste intitulée Saeta, on assiste à du théatre musical au summum de la passion.  Dans son guide des meilleurs disques, Rolling Stone décrit Sketches of Spain en ces termes:   "a work of unparalleled grace and lyricism”.  D’ailleurs en 2003, Rolling Stone a placé l’album au 358e rang de son palmarès des 500 meilleurs disques de tous les temps, toutes catégories confondues.  Quand un critique a posé à Miles la question “But is it jazz?”, il a répliqué "It's music, and I like it."

La cache est une petite "bison" camouflée et ne contient que le carnet - prière d’apporter votre stylo.  Elle a été placée suffisament haut pour être accessible en hiver.  

Stationnement disponible pas très loin sur les rues de côté avoisinantes.
