in 1985, miles davis shocked the music world by moving from columbia to warner bros. he immediately started working on an album called 'perfect way' after a tune by scritti politti, later renamed 'tutu' by producer tommy lipuma. when 'tutu' was released in 1986, it re-ignited miles davis' career, crossing over into the rock and pop markets and winning davis two grammy awards - the album was a key factor in raising davis' status to an international superstar. this 5 cd box set covers the later part of miles davis' life, from the warner bros studio albums 'tutu', 'amandla' and 'doo-bop', 'the dingo' and 'siesta soundtracks' and live recordings with quincy jones and the likes of kenny garrett, foley and adam holzman. it also includes 4 previously unreleased tracks, from the rubberband sessions. with liner notes by leading jazz critic ashley kahn.
