Features the remastered album and a previously unreleased performance from the Nice Festival of 1986. Warner. some more info from amazon.fr: Un Essentiel amazon.fr Premier album que Miles Davis réalise pour Warner, Tutu inaugure une nouvelle méthode de travail pour le trompettiste qui n'a plus de groupe régulier lorsqu'il entreprend de l'enregistrer à Los Angeles en février 1986. Qu'importe, Miles garde une relation très étroite avec Marcus Miller, le bassiste de son fracassant retour au disque et à la scène cinq ans auparavant. Ce dernier va tout lui préparer, se chargeant de la basse mais aussi de la plupart des instruments. Miller apporte des bandes, de superbes mélodies sur lesquelles Miles n'a plus qu'à poser sa magnifique sonorité. Bien sûr, il corrige, rectifie, transforme en or ce qui n'est qu'argent. Ses pertinentes retouches l'amènent à confier de petits rôles au batteur Omar Hakim et au violoniste Michael Urbaniak, le pianiste George Duke héritant des arrangements de "Backyard Ritual". Les plus récentes machines digitales subviendront aux autres besoins. Le jazz funk électrique de Tutu peut se vendre comme des petits pains. Description du produit RHINO fête les 25 ans de l’album culte produit par Marcus Miller. En 1985, Miles Davis quitte Columbia pour Warner. Il se mit immédiatement à travailler sur un album intitulé “Perfect Way” d’après une chanson de Scritti Politti, renommée plus tard “Tutu” par le producteur Tommy LiPuma. Quand “Tutu” (un hommage à Desmond Tutu) sort en 1986, l’album relance la carrière de Miles Davis en réussissant le cross-over des marchés pop/rock et en lui faisant remporter deux Grammy Awards. Cet album a contribué à renforcer le statut de star internationale du légendaire trompettiste. Contenu : • Remasterisation 2011 • 2 CD : l’album original et la performance inédite et intégrale de Miles Davis au Festival Jazz à Nice en 1986 • Un livret du spécialiste de jazz Ashley Kahn, qui a réalisé des interviews exclusives de Marcus Miller et Tommy LiPuma • Digipack luxueux Quote

Adding another keyboardist wasn't--too many cheesy synths. Quote
porcy62 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 Wasn't the same line up, not exactly the very same concert, one got on the Montreaux box set? 17th july 1986, (plus George Duke and David Sanborn) and the playlist is roughly the same, on Montreaux box set some more stuff. Quote

That's right--same line-up plus guests on the Montreux box, recorded three days earlier. My interest in the Montreux box ends about midway through that concert. Quote

medjuck Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 Right now it only seems to be available on Amazon as an import. Quote
