Jazz great Miles Davis said of the work, \"After listening to it for a couple of weeks, . . . I couldn't get it out of my mind,\" and used it as inspiration for his album \u003cem\u003eSketches of Spain\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut Javier Suárez-Pajares and Walter Aaron Clark demonstrate in this musical biography that Rodrigo's work and influence extend far beyond that singular work. Blinded in infancy, Rodrigo didn't allow visual limitations to prevent him from pursuing his passion for music; traveling to study in Paris; connecting with a wide range of musicians, authors, and artists; and navigating the political and cultural complexities of Franco's Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThough firmly grounded in the traditional music of Spain, his creative reach extended to a wide variety of styles, genres, and media. He was as versatile as he was prolific and, one hundred years after his first serious composition, remains a figure of global renown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855699497196,"sku":"9781324004455","price":85.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781324004455.jpg?v=1759274861"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/walter-aaron-clark.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
