MILES DAVIS / MARCUS MILLER - Music from Siesta (1987-2013) Jazz Best Collection 1000 – 10 / RM / FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

This collaboration between Davis and producer Marcus Miller (who, except for some cameos, plays all of the other instruments) is quite successful and a bit of a surprise since it is essentially a soundtrack to an obscure film. Dedicated to arranger Gil Evans, the music is greatly influenced by his style with Miller creating an electrified but very warm orchestra to accompany Davis's melodic solos. This was the first of several instances in which Miles Davis, in the twilight of his life, returned to his roots. It's worth searching for. by Scott Yanow
