I agree that Tutu is is crap! I think it was produced during Miles was
having lots of personal problems.

Amandla is on the other hand is awesome!
Miles's horn comes to life on that album.

I listened to Dingo a few y<ears ago and wasn't impressed, it did nothing
for me.

Has anyone listened to his album Birth of Cool?
Okay it is far from Acid-Jazzy but for you out there whose tastes include
Jazz it is worth the buy.
Also, those who have produced the "Rebirth of Cool" hacked their title
from the aforementioned album!

Ciao,
