On this 1983 release, Miles Davis rediscovers the blues. Beside the members of the band from the "We Want Miles" album, the recordings feature John Scofield, Marcus Miller and Tom Barney. Al Foster and Mino Cinelu are heard on drums and percussion. Miles Davis plays trumpet and Oberheim synthesizer often at the same time (without using overdubs), and also on separately recorded interludes for the over-18-minute-long blues "Star People".
