Jazz Song of the Day

Often regarded as one of Miles Davis' most unmistakably '80s albums, Tutu is inseparable from its era-defining production. Strip away the gated drums and digital sheen, however, and another record emerges: one built on remarkably strong compositions.

That was the starting point for Emma-Jean Thackray and her band featuring Lyle Barton (keyboards), Matthew Gedrych (bass), Dougal Taylor (drums), who rebuilt the album through the lens of British electronic dance music while remaining faithful to Miles' restless artistic philosophy.
