Miles Davis – Man With The Horn

Limited edition of 1500 numbered copies on gold & black marble coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. The Man With The Horn is the 1981 album by Miles Davis, which he recorded after persuasion by his nephew Vince Wilburn, a drummer in a Chicago group that played music that combined funk, soul, and fusion jazz. Miles also met the saxo- phonist Bill Evans, the bass guitarist Marcus Miller and called the drummer Al Foster. The studio result was a hybrid record, divided between the Chicago group's pieces that he himself referred to as bubble gum music" and a very free jazz-rock. However, it's less somber and dense than the damp jungles he wandered through without direction during the 1970s. The hit "The Man With The Horn" and it's sugary-sweet refrain received a lot of airplay on FM stations. Jazz lovers, rejoicing in Miles' return, delighted in the rest of the repertory. But it was Mike Stern's incandescent solo on "Fat Time" that everyone relished."
