Miles Davis

Star People is a 1983 album by the famous jazz trumpeter and composer Miles Davis.

It is the first to feature electric guitarist John Scofield, who was recommended by saxophonist Bill Ev- ans, and the last to be produced by long-standing collaborator Teo Macero. Bassist Marcus Miller plays on five of the tracks. Electric gui- tarist Mike Stern features on most of the pieces, and drum- mer Al Foster and percussionist Mino Cinelu round out the rhythm section. Davis played trumpet and Oberheim synthe- sizer simultaneously (without using overdubs), and on sepa- rately recorded interludes for the over-18-minute-long blues composition “Star People”. Star People is available as limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on orange and white marbled vinyl.
