A RETROSPECTIVE ON
"A WORK OF ENGROSSINGLY FRAUGHT ATMOSPHERE'S. AND GREAT TUNES.
NONE ARE LIGHT. SOME ARE POSITIVELY HEAVY." - BBC Review

MILES DAVIS RELINQUISHED CREATIVE CONTROL TO HIS PROTEGE, MARCUS MILLER
- BASSIST, COMPOSER, ARRANGER, RECORD PRODUCER AND MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST -,
IN THIS 1986 ALBUM DEDICATED TO ARCHBISHOP DESMOND TUTU. WITH HIS UNCANNY TALENT
FOR NOT ONLY PREDICTING MUSIC EVOLUTION, BUT ALSO FERRETING OUT MUSIC BRILLIANCE
IN YOUNG ARTISTS AND GIVING THEM THE SCOPE NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE THEIR OWN
PERSONAL SUCCESSES, DAVIS PARTICIPATED IN A RECORDING THAT WOULD HEAVILY
INFLUENCE AND LEGITIMIZE THE HIP-HOP CULTURE EMERGING ON THE YOUTH-FILLED
STREETS OF AMERICA. MOST OF THE COMPOSITIONS WERE WRITTEN BY MILLER, AND
NEARLY ALL OF THE INSTRUMENTS - INCLUDING BASS CLARINET - WERE PLAYED BY HIM.
IN A LOT OF WAYS, MILES DAVIS HAD AN EASY TIME IN THE CREATION OF AN ALBUM
THAT IS BEAUTIFULLY PRODUCED, SONICALLY BRILLIANT AND A COMPLETE DEPARTURE
FROM HIS MUSICAL PAST. AT THIS POINT IN HIS LIFE, WITH HIS LEGACY IN JAZZ ASSURED,
ALL MILES DAVIS REALLY NEEDED WAS HIS TRUMPET.
