Tutu
by Miles Davis
The 2784th greatest album of all time
Tutu is a 1986 studio album by Miles Davis produced and largely composed by Marcus Miller. It blends Davis's muted trumpet with electronic production, synthesizers, sequenced bass and programmed drums to create a sleek, atmospheric sound that draws on funk, R&B and electro while retaining a jazz sensibility. The album emphasizes mood, texture and tight arrangements over extended improvisation and is a defining example of Davis's 1980s fusion period.
