Summary:

"This project is, of course, dedicated to Miles, whose musical journey inspired us all." This is the quote that opens Tutu Revisited, a Marcus Miller concert that took place in Lyon in 2009. To Miller, Miles Davis was a mentor, a friend and later a collaborator on equal footing, with Miller composing or producing most of the tracks on Miles' seminal, genre-bending 1986 album Tutu. It was an LP that killed the idea of genre snobbery, blending pop, R & B, jazz, electronic music, funk and more. Tutu was arguably the moment in Miller's career where he entered the historical jazz elite. But in revisiting such a work, who could he possibly choose to replace Miles' timeless trumpet? The answer comes in the form of Christian Scott who was, at this point, an up-and-coming trumpettist from New Orleans. As a result, the generational interplay on stage mirrors the relationship Miller had with Miles back in the 80s, marking a nice poetic touch. The repertoire is untouchable, including standards like "Jean-Pierre," "In A Sentimental Mood," "Backyard Ritual" and, of course, "Tutu" ... all the elements that went into creating an album that was divisive when it was first released, but one that has since become a towering reference point. As Miller says: "People seem to be feeling this music twenty years later." Indeed
