Miles Davis: You're Under Arrest (Columbia)
Fred Goodman, Musician, June 1985
MILES DAVIS' brilliance is so often attributed to his musical innovations and refusal to coast on past accomplishments that it's easy to overlook his talent for embracing and transforming the music of the moment. For just as Sly Stone and psychedelia yielded records like A Tribute To Jack Johnson and Bitches' Brew, so does the recent resurrection of the popular song result in You're Under Arrest.
