I’m by no means against all 80s output from Miles Davis. His first album after coming out of retirement, The Man With the Horn, is quite good and carries on in the fusion direction he left off with in the early seventies. And he had a few other high points among his recordings after that. But where those moments, however contemporary, had some real edge to them, Tutu is a bit more poppy and smooth— more comparable with the smooth jazz of Bob James of the same period than serious jazz. It is much better than the silly pop-fusion of albums like You’re Under Arrest, and Miles’ playing here is excellent, so I still recommend Tutu as a great album to relax to. Just don’t expect anything as groundbreaking or monumental as his classic works.

all of his stuff is good. maybe not his best era, but it's funky. I liked it a lot and needed to fill a big whole in my collection.

We bought it because we love Marcus Miller. Marcus played with Miles for a while, and wrote TUTU, and we wanted to hear the whole CD. Loved it, loved it, loved it! If you love Miles and TUTU, get Marcus Miller's CD's!!!
This one is a must have. Rich sound, jumps right out at you, gives you your 'mojo' back. Many familiar tunes, some played a bit differently others create that Miles Davis sound. His horn just explodes.
Miles had many phases during his long career. I am a big fan of most of his recordings. In my opinion, he made a strong finish with his last studio albums. Tutu is a classic and sounds great to this day, drum machines or not. Both Tutu and Amandla are great albums imo, great drive in some songs, beautiful arrangements and Miles' trumpet of course.
