Miles electrik!

It's fine to release a new album after so many years. But where the musician makes sense, it's burning the boards. The moment of truth has come for Miles Davis in 1981 vintage, who is about to embark on his first world tour since 1975! More than the boards, even more than his audience came by the thousands, Miles will find that most lacked: the feeling. For this long journey that led him to Japan, he will be accompanied by most of the architects of his latest, among which point the guitarist Mike Stern, saxophonist Bill Evans and bassist Marcus Miller. It is also important to emphasize how Miller was an element, if not the driving force that pushed the trumpeter to return to center stage. Except on two albums, "Decoy" and "You're Under Arrest," where he will be replaced by the equally talented Darryl Jones, Miller will hold the hand of Miles throughout this decade. And then there is the ever-present Al Foster, most loyal, behind the drums for Miles since 1972, a heck of a "timekeeper"! Add to that the very organic Mino Cinelu on percussion, and you get "We Want Miles" (also known as "the album where there Jean-Pierre"), a double live album there are more explosive appears with an extraordinary version of "Back Seat Betty", a "Fast Track" which has not usurped his name, and a moving processing more than twenty minutes on the standard "My Man's Gone Now", proving that Miles n ' has not definitively turned its back to the past. The brilliant interpretation of this title even tends to prove that this new period beginning would have the appearance of a homecoming. I told you; it's all about feeling. Electrik!
