Very enjoyable to have this come on while driving through southern Spain, and although Aranjuez is more central than southern, this works !!

I am clearly not smart enough to enjoy jazz. I can tell this is a well-made piece, but I can also tell its designed for people who 'understand' music on a different level. Unfortunately, it gets a 'sucko barfo' rating from me.

The Concierto de Aranjuez is a composition for classical guitar and orchestra by the Spanish composer Joaquin Rodrigo. Written in 1939, it is far and away Rodrigo's best-known work, and its success established his reputation as one of the most significant Spanish composers of the twentieth century.
Thank You for the info!

You can’t compose feel. Miles takes the listener to a very uncomfortable edge of dissonance, then miraculously resolves - even assuages, pacifies. His level of genius isn’t taught, it’s an innate once-in-a-lifetime virtuosity!

Considering there are rarely 2 songs of the same genre played within the same hour on RP this statement is just stupid. RP isn't a jazz station, or a rock station, or a prog station, or an electronica station, or a folk station, or a adult contemporary station. It's a music station. Learn things, Roger.
Also, Miles is God.

Jazz is where RP most widened my musical tastes.
This is especially true of Miles. I hated his music growing up. Now I stop and listen.

I think it was Gil Evens who did the Bernsteining part. Still pretty Godlike IMHO.
I think less of this than when I first heard it. Miles was—remains—a genius, but he cools-and-Leonard Bernsteins this one up a bit too much for me. Some of the rich tapestry and melodic richness goes missing from Rodrigo's magnificent original, which has a few passages that almost transcend beauty itself. Nonetheless, Miles could be such an exquisite musician and arranger that it is hard to find much fault with this. I've bumped it down, from a 10 to a 9. I prefer the original, but when this pops up on PSD or as the main course, I won't be listening to something else.

The original work has pathos, emotion, and tugs at the heart strings. This has...emptiness. Davis has eviscerated Rodrigo's work of all meaning and emotion, and replaced it by lift music. No doubt technically accomplished muzak, but muzak nonetheless. Music is about emotion, about moving the listener in some way. This is a technical exercise that moves this listener only to hit the PSD button. A nailed-on Ho-Hum from the jazzophobic Nottingham jury.

Very nice piece of music. Thanks RP.
This song is very calming. I need to hear it more!
Calming? I suppose it's calming when you're dead but that doesn't mean I want to go there either. Ok, play jazz but make it worth listening to or make it short. Eight minutes of that pot rattling is way too long.
Mo' Miles please Bill! Only 10 tracks in the library. 
This song is very calming. I need to hear it more!
Jeez what a tuneless dirge. I really don't understand what people find to like in this guy's output.
File under avoid.

Everyone at jazz improv nite from the local Burger King loves this song!
Aural bliss. A treat for both the head and the heart.
Brilliant choice Bill, a fine tune for a hot Southern Hemisphere afternoon...

Exquisite, very rewarding. Rodrigo's original piece is THE one, but Miles's take is innovative and engaging. I don't find this boring in the least, and it retains its emotional depth.

From RP's home page: "RP is a blend of many styles and genres of music, carefully selected and mixed by two real human beings. You'll hear modern and classic rock, world music, electronica, even a bit of classical and jazz."
It's that eclectic mix that brings me here, because little bores me more than a single genre station playing variations on a limited theme all day. The mix is what RP is all about so unfortunately you'd better learn to use the PSD button or get over the occasional jazz track, because it'll come up regularly.
Meanwhile, as for this track, Miles kind of passes me by I'm afraid. Nothing I can get nourishment from, but nothing I can be critical of either. That makes it a 5 from me I guess.

Not my favourite Miles, but still excellent.
When the castanets started, I took off my headphones to see what my kids were doing - sometimes old stereo recordings are amazing.
Not gonna complain about this one. It's classic. But when it first started with the percussion, I saw little metal bugs scuttling across the landscape in a bad Outer Limits episode.
This is so boring.
I know it's blasphemy in certain circles. But, please make it stop.

Miles Davis, as good a reason for a bathroom break as anything on RP. Well, he and Neil Young.

Unlistenable. But endless!

Nice for an american night and a german sunnycold comfortable saturday late morning. That calms me down.
This one is really growing on me. Jazz usually is not my thang at all, but this one obviously has some genius..
The soul and restrained passion in this song are painfully, exquisitely, coolly beautiful. Miles Davis + Gil Evans = Genius

Beautiful and Magical!!
Gil Evans was a stone genius. This arrangement is magical.
As a kid in 1961, I remember my dad putting this disc on the Empire turntable and playing it through the AR2a speakers and sitting on the couch with his horn and playing along with Miles. Lasting memories that inspired my love of music. Always loved this.

Great song from a great album. Miles never rested on his laurels and always found new ways to express his creativity. I do believe other jazz artists have done this song and I like every other version too. Rodrigo really wrote a great tune that lent itself well to jazz interpretations.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ao1VOMrEuS4
This melts the encasement of my heart, Ahhh... beautiful!
A typically interesting rendition, but for mine, it pales badly in comparison with the inspired original.........
I don't listen to a lot of Miles Davis... or a lot of jazz for that matter.
But I quite enjoyed this.
I'm really into the more abstract sounds (perhaps I should spend more time with Miles playing on the stereo).
The new Flaming Lips album kinda feels like Miles Davis on acid with the distortion cranked up.
Time to explore...

mesmeric. one of my favourite albums of all time
Fantastically stirring. Demands your complete attention.
This is one brilliant Album. Miles was such an experimental musician and I urge all listeners to experience his works over the years. Well done RP for airing this.
Ah the soothing sounds of nails on the chalk board...
Miles c. 1959. fifty years ago now -
The few, the stoned, the tone-deaf.
I can name that trumpet player in two notes...
This piece stirs up quite the controversy here on friendly RP!
I find it fascinating: musically challenging in a delightful way. I think this is a perfect example of a great musician playing to the few...
As for controversy, the audience rioted the first time Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" was played publicly.
As pompous as that sounds, it stands.
Definitely a "10"

Well, I know some of Miles's work, but this is an aspect of his career with which I am not familiar. Thanks for the intro, RP. Except for the bombastic blasts of brass in the middle, this was great, even if he was drug-addled. I'll have to listen to the version with a "clean" Miles.
