Tales

Amandla (1989) carries Miles Davis's name, but Marcus Miller wrote most of it, produced it, and overdubbed keyboards and bass clarinet alongside his own bass. The man who had been the band's bassist a few years earlier was now designing the sound itself.

When Lenny White played drums on Miles Davis's Bitches Brew in 1969, he was still a teenager and virtually unknown. The album that dissolved the line between jazz and rock turned out to be the session that launched his career.
