In some quarters, it's quite fashionable to dismiss Miles's comeback years (1981-1991). Miles had gone soft; sold out; lost interest
in music; was more interested in the trappings of stardom; surrounded himself with second-rate musicians; couldn't play; didn't
have anything new to say. Some have even gone as far as to suggest that if Miles had never blown another note after 1975, it
would have made no difference to his musical legacy. I beg to differ. I find it hard to imagine a world without albums such as Star
People, Aura, You're Under Arrest, Tutu, Siesta and (shock! horror!) Doo-Bop. Some of Miles's fans tolerate the early Columbia
recordings but have harsh things to say about the Warner Bros. years, which ran from 1985 to his death in 1991. This compilation
is a very welcome antidote to such attitudes.
My Miles Davis record collection is heaving with compilations from Columbia Records but, apart from the Warner Bros. boxed set
The Complete Miles Davis at Montreux 1973-1991, there were no compilations albums that focused on Miles's Warner years. Until
now. This is an excellent compilation in so many ways. First, it's very well packaged with an informative booklet that gives track
and personnel information (although sadly, no recording date details), as well as liner notes from trumpeter Wallace Roney, who
played with Miles at the 1991 concert in Montreux. It's also very-well priced and packed with music, none of which has been edited
from the album versions. Last, but not least, it's really nice to see that the album is dedicated to the late Don Alias, the
much-missed percussionist who played on Bitches Brew, was in Miles's band in the early 1970s and also appears on Amandla. ~
