Miles Davis: You're Under Arrest (Columbia FC 40023)

Richard C. Walls, High Fidelity, July 1985

MILES'S LATEST is a very mixed bag, sounding, in fact, like excerpts from three different albums. On four cuts, the trumpeter is presented in a pop setting; on two, he's a participant in programmatic collages; and on the remaining two, he delves into the continuing fusion concerns of such recent releases as Decoy and Star People.
