Miles Davis - Tutu (Deluxe Edition) 2CD (2011)

A 2 CD deluxe edition of the most important album of Miles Davis’ late career, featuring the remastered album and a whole night’s performance from the Nice Festival of 1986 never released before. May 2011 will mark the 85th birthday of Miles’ birth.

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 Davis two Grammy Awards. The album was a key factor in raising Davis’ status to an international superstar.
