Tutu is an album by the American trumpeter Miles Davis, released in 1986 by Warner Bros. Records. It was recorded mostly at Capitol Studios in Los Angeles and Clinton Recording in New York City, except the song “Backyard Ritual”, which was recorded at Le Gonks in West Hollywood. Davis received the 1987 Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Soloist Grammy Award for his performance on Tutu.
Review
“The controversial but memorable Tutu is mostly a duet between Miles Davis
and the many overdubbed instruments of producer Marcus Miller (although
violinist Michal Urbaniak, percussionist Paulinho da Costa, and keyboardist
George Duke are among the other musicians making brief appearances). Certainly
the results are not all that spontaneous, but Davis is in top form and some of
the selections (most notably the title cut) are quite memorable.”
