Miles Davis's Tutu stands as one of the defining records of his later career, pairing his unmistakable trumpet playing with the production and songwriting talents of Marcus Miller. Created as a tribute to anti-apartheid activist Desmond Tutu, the album blends jazz with the electronic textures, funk rhythms and R&B influences of the mid-1980s.

Miller wrote and arranged most of the material, performing much of the instrumentation himself, while Davis brings character and authority to every track. The result is a distinctive meeting of jazz tradition and contemporary studio craft, featuring synthesizers, drum machines and sleek grooves that helped redefine Davis's sound for a new era.

The album earned Davis a Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Soloist and remains a key entry in his catalogue, capturing his willingness to experiment and evolve throughout his career.
