New Miles Davis Box Set coming...

Rhino France has produced some excellent box sets in the past few years, most notably box sets on Donny Hathaway and Chic. This fall, Rhino will be covering the last era of jazz great Miles Davis' career with 1986 - 1991: The Warner Years, featuring his last few albums including "Tutu", produced by Marcus Miller, who produced many of Luther Vandross' classic albums. More interesting will be extracts from Davis' film scores for obscure films like Mary Lambert's "Siesta" and Dennis Hopper's "The Hot Spot", as well as a sampling of Davis' collaborations with other artists including the Prince-penned "Sticky Wicked".

Even if you're not a big fan of Davis' late '80s work, I have no doubt Rhino France will do an excellent job with this set. Pre-orders can be made at Amazon France.
