Miles Davis – Decoy (Ltd Edn Clear Vinyl LP)

Sony Legacy Recordings/Get On Down Miles Davis 1980s Reissue Series Release Remastered from the Original Analog Tapes

Without long time production collaborator Teo Macero in tow, Miles Davis chased new directions with this 1984 self-produced recording. Miles allowed keyboardist Robert Irving and guitar legend John Scofield to write most of the material on the LP and the proceedings are adorned with new synth sounds, making it a very unique entry in Davis’ catalog. The line-up here is rounded out with Darryl Jones on bass, Al Foster on drums, Mino Cinelu on percussion, Bill Evans on sax, and a guest appearance from Branford Marsalis. Gatefold colored vinyl LP with Japanese stylized insert and deluxe obi strip.
