  Amazon.com: Tutu: Music: Miles Davis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
The first album resulting from this collaboration, "Tutu", proves to be one of the great records of Davis' career, and like "Sketches of Spain" before it, provides a powerful launching pad for Davis and coaxes out of him one of his best performances.
Musically, the album is guaranteed to alienate Davis fans everywhere-- while he'd abandoned acoustic instruments as the only way to go in the '60s, this album was an embracing of synthesizers, drum machines, and electric instruments, even moreso than his previous records were.
The fact is, this album is one of the best of its generation, and time and again, Davis proved he was capable of shaking the jazz world apart.

Tutu Jones was born and raised in South Dallas, Texas.
Tutu is more than the sum of his influences (though distinguished influences they are!) He is first and foremost an individualist, who puts a very personal stamp on every note that he plays and every syllable that he sings.
Tutu is truly one of our brightest stars in the future of the blues in the 21st Century.

 Tutu   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
TUTU finds Miles entering the world of MIDI, chaperoned by former sideman, Marcus Miller and pop jazz hitmaker Tommy LiPuma, and beat box music would never be the same again.
TUTU is the birth of a new kind of cool, based on the emblematic street beats of the mid-1980s, brimming over with orchestrally-styled keyboard programming.
Not since his work with Gil Evans had Miles deferred so much to a collaborator, and TUTU is a platform for the arranging talents of Miller, who in addition to his distinctive, popping bass lines, plays nearly every instrument on the session--from keyboards to bass clarinet.

Miles' 1986 album Tutu, his first for Warner Brothers after many years with Columbia, was named in honor of South Africa's Bishop Desmond Tutu, a Nobel Peace Prize winner that was recognized for his peacemaking efforts at a time when his nation was suffering under apartheid rule.
Tutu was definitely not an object d'art like many of Miles' other albums.
On Tutu, a master musician and ensemble leader who could easily stand alone without the need for modern advances had his trumpet pushed aside as a lead instrument in favor of a microchip.

 MILES BEYOND The Last Word Liner notes
The person who is composed behaves in a measured and rational way; he or she is controlled, proud, dignified, and cool.” The Western adaptation of the word has gradually lost its original meaning of poise to the point that it now mainly refers to pose, to being fashionable or trendy.
Tutu is best judged on its own terms, and what can be said is that despite the dated sound of some of the drum programming and sampling, parts of the album still hold up in the 21st century.
Tutu was heralded as “the best jazz record of the decade” (writer/musician Mike Zwerin), despised as “glossy, coffee-table music,” or dismissed out of hand by jazz fans because of the abundance of synthesizers and drum machines.

 DVDAnswers.com - Audio Reviews - Miles Davis - Tutu (All Regions)
He also wrote all the tracks which seems to me that this album should be a Marcus Miller album rather than a Miles Davis album, but that must be something to do with Davis’ sheer prowess and domination of this trumpet that makes it all his own.
I think it’s a shame as the rest of the album is simply jazz, where as this song is definitely 80’s jazz.
The discography features the covers and track listing for six albums and the biography is an interesting read into his career and rise to the top of the jazz ladder.

In a career that spanned more than five decades, Miles transformed the face of jazz four or five times and his music resonates far beyond the bounds of his genre.
Miles made the most famous album in the history of jazz, Kind of Blue, formed one of the greatest jazz quintets in the 1960s and fused jazz with rock.
There is at least one chapter devoted to each album that Miles recorded during this period.

God's dream, Archbishop Tutu explains, is a place where laughter, love, and peace reign and where we realize that we are all members of one family--God's family.
Tutu's sincere and heartfelt delivery is a perfect match for the message of hope embedded in his writing.
The most energizing parts of Tutu's message are his respect for each person's right to choose how to love others--even whether to love them at all--and his personal example of how to live a life that expresses Christian ideals.

 Miles Styles - The Music of Miles Davis
The Prestige quintet albums were recorded in Hackensack, New Jersey with engineer Rudy Van Gelder, with the bulk of the material coming from a marathon session on October 26, 1956.
The album begins with what is essentially an eighteen-minute jam over Tony Williams' high-hat work - nice work from all, but this is more of a meditation than a fully realized work; Shorter's soprano saxophone is the most interesting soloist here, although Miles' seems to be trying to turn his horn into an organ.
"Tutu" is a sequence of moody, synthesized orchestral pieces that compliment Miles' brooding presence, and although the daring of past efforts seems to be gone, there is still that horn: that haunting horn.

 TUTU JONES
However after talking to blues guitarist Tutu Jones of Dallas I’m beginning to think that the richest blues tradition in this country’s history is from the state of Texas.
Tutu Jones is a descendant of this rich blues tradition.
After all Tutu Jones had arguably the best blues record of the year in 1996 with his first record on the Bullseye Blues label, the aptly titled "Blue Texas Soul." Tutu got a Handy award nomination in the soul/blues category for this effort.

 Tutu Recipe
Now Tutu, outside of its rather amusing name is basically just a fl eyed peas mixed in with funchi, so much of the instructions are going to be the same.
You can think of Tutu is kind of an adjustment to funchi, and this too has a root somewhere in the Jewish kitchens of Curacao.
Not too much as I find it is interesting and a good change of pace in small quantities, but can be a little flat if you have too much of it.

Cornelio Tutu has a hand in all of the tracks, writing five and collaborating with the other five.
Tutu is lucky in having a pianist like Zoltan Olah to provide such enlightened input and a fine rhythm section that quietly hits the mood and gives it that Latin feel that Tutu seems to favor.
The short track "Film Music" has a darker jaunt and might give Tutu food for thought as a good direction to explore; it would be a shame if this fine band were looked on as too nice.
