You're Under Arrest

Miles DavisMiles Davisマイルス・デイヴィス covered Michael JacksonMichael Jacksonマイケル・ジャクソン's 'Human Nature' on his 1985 album You're Under Arrest. During the session, his longtime drummer Al Foster refused to play a pop song, walked out of the studio, and never came back — ending their collaboration. Miles defended his choice: 'Why can't Human Nature be a standard?' The original melody began as a tune Toto's Steve PorcaroSteve Porcaroスティーヴ・ポーカロ wrote for his daughter after she came home crying from school.

When John Scofield joined Miles Davis's band in November 1982, it left two guitarists standing in the lineup. By Scofield's account, Miles liked putting two players of the same instrument together to make them compete — deliberately building the kind of redundancy most bandleaders take pains to avoid.

Miles Davis's 1984 album Decoy features guitarist John Scofield alongside bassist Darryl Jones. In 1993, Jones became the Rolling Stones' touring bassist — an unlikely bridge from Davis's fusion-era band to one of rock's most enduring institutions.
