Miles Davis "Tutu" live

Here's an interesting video I just came across.  This is Miles Davis in the latter part of his career playing "Tutu" from his 1986 album of the same name.  The band for this record includes Davis on trumpet, Kenny Garrett on flute, David Sanborn on alto sax, Marcus Miller on bass, and Don Alias on drums.  Also featured are Paulinho da Costa on percussion, Jason Miles on synthesizer, and, Marcus Miller is at least credited with a few instruments on the whole of the Tutu record along with keyboard wizard George Duke.  Miller is credited with bass, guitar, guitar synthesizer, bass clarinet, soprano saxophone, and, drum programming (ah, the '80s and the beginning of electronic synth programming, even in fusion jazz).

Check this out.
