Miles Davis – Tutu (Deluxe Vinyl 2LP)
$46.00
Thirty years ago in 1985, Miles Davis shocked the music world by moving from Columbia to Warner Bros. Records. 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 Davis’ career, crossing over into the rock and pop markets and winning the Prince of Darkness two Grammy Awards. The album was a key factor in raising Davis’ status to an international superstar.
This deluxe edition includes the original Tutu album remastered on LP and an extra LP of a previously unavailable live performance from the Miles Davis Octet at Nice’s jazz festival in 1986. The packaging is a replica of the original vinyl album, including stickers, LP labels and Irving Penn’s beautiful and iconic photographs. The 180-gram 2LP set also features liner notes by leading jazz writer Ashley Kahn, who interviewed Marcus Miller and Tommy Lipuma especially for the reissue.
