After his discography silence of the second half of the 1970s, Miles returned in 1981. It will regain its highest artistic level on two discs, which here first, Star People (1983). Although jazz harmonies are more clearly between 1969 and 1975, sound, dense and opaque, is dominated by the cold and cutting guitar of John Scofield and helps make Star People remote and unapproachable subject, especially as the taste of miles for the allusion is now drawing to abstraction. At the same time, the traces of the 1970s are still present in the aspect of "open work" and improvised in real time. A paradoxical and exciting drive.
