Last Word: Warner Bros. Years

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 (a tribute to Desmond Tutu) was released in 1986, it re-ignited Miles Davis’ career, crossing over into the rock and pop markets and winning him two Grammy Awards. A definitive collection of the later part of Miles Davis’ work, lavishly packaged and remastered, from the Warner Bros studio albums Tutu, Amandla and Doo-Bop, the Dingo and Siesta soundtracks, live recordings with Quincy Jones, and the likes of Kenny Garrett, Foley and Adam Holzman.  • Clamshell Box • Fully remastered • Each Warner Bros. album in a mini-LP CD cardboard replica sleeve with spine of the original artwork • 60-page, perfect-bound booklet, with period photos and liner notes • A whole night’s performance of the Miles Davis Octet at the Nice’s Jazz Festival of 1986 only available on the Tutu Deluxe CD edition. • Liner notes by leading jazz writer Ashley Kahn
