Music Jazz/not jazz
Notes Tutu was yet another Miles Davis album that set the cat among the pigeons. The purists were appalled by the synthetic textures and the lack of interaction between performers. The music was bold and modern and a step further on from the likes of the already modern Decoy and You’re Under Arrest. The cover reflects all of that and then some. 23 years on and this cover looks super modern to these eyes. Irving Penn’s photography is incredible: stark, bold and fearless just like his subject.
I love the typeface used for all of the titling, its angularity perfectly suits the music. Also striking, though perhaps a little less successful are the stickers which are applied vertically on the left side of the front and back outside cover. They’re stickers and not printed directly onto the sleeve. The colours are also great: the vivid red almost defiantly offsets and emphasises the black and white portrait. Likewise the lilac inner sleeve.
£6 in a Berwick Street record shop. I bought the original on tape, then bought the CD, have had it on mp3 for years and now back to the original and greatest version, the 12″ vinyl. It’s the only place to really experience the greatness of this design.
如果对爵士乐不甚了解，耳朵扫盲之旅的第一个名家应该听MilesDavis，因为没有一个大师像他涉猎如此广泛的流派。若是听惯爵士的人，也应该多听MilesDavis，不是因为他钻研的比别人精致，但在别人都沉浸在一种流派和曲调之际，他却偏偏喜欢开拓一篇又一篇新乐园新感官。爵士赋予他的，最纯粹的即兴和自由精神，MilesDavis统统送赠给了我们的耳朵。
迈尔斯·戴维斯(Miles Davis)素有"黑暗王子"之称，是爵士发展过程上一位重要人物。他的一生都在创新，参与缔造了Cool、HardBop、Modal、Fusion等曲风，他是爵士音乐史上杰出的指挥家和小号演奏家，对许多风格的爵士乐都有深入的研究。60年代后期，戴维斯开创了FusionJazz(融合爵士乐)，对世界爵士乐坛产生了巨大的影响，这种音乐也变成了当今极为时尚的音乐形式。20世纪五十年代初，迈尔斯·戴维斯是除奥斯卡·彼得森之外另一位波普爵士乐时代的代表人物之一，与彼得森有所不同的是，迈尔斯·戴维斯每隔五年左右就会前进一步，他不仅演奏波普爵士乐，而且帮助创立了冷爵士乐、硬波普爵士乐以及具有鲜明个人风格的融合爵士乐。如果没有迈尔斯·戴维斯的出现，爵士乐想必不会像今天这样丰富多彩。
Tutu是Miles Davis在1986年推出的一张出奇的专辑，展现了他用合成器表演的小号，是大师晚年最杰出的录音室作品。于当年获得第29届格莱美最佳爵士乐演奏专辑。Miles Davis试图通过将爵士乐与流行曲风相融合，以求爵士乐能被更为广大的听众所接受。1990年华纳联合美国银线唱片，以高科技的DVD-AUDIO为载体，重新出版了这张唱片，这是历史上爵士大师最发烧的版本，足以让你以最新鲜的方式领略MILES DAVIS的爵色魅力！
