Tutu

Tutu is an album by the American trumpeter Miles Davis, released in 1986 on Warner Bros. Records. Davis received the 1987 Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Soloist Grammy Award for his performance on Tutu. Originally planned as a collaboration with pop singer/songwriter Prince, Davis ultimately worked with bassist/multi-instrumentalist Marcus Miller. Miller wrote and arranged all the songs, except "Tomaas" (co-written by Davis), "Backyard Ritual" (by keyboardist George Duke), and "Perfect Way" (by pop group Scritti Politti). The music is heavily inspired by mid-1980s R&B and funk, with heavy use of synthesizers, sequencers and drum machines.
