Biography by "Blue" Gene Tyranny, All Music Guide
The Spanish romantic-impressionist composer of Concierto de Aranjuez, which is often heard in the setting by
Gil Evans for
Miles Davis on
Sketches of Spain. The original has many more charms and beauty of orchestration; it and its companion piece, Fantasia para un gentilhombre for Guitar & Orchestra, each have elegant, warm, and memorable melodies.
