Miles Davis • Star People

 

Tom Barney temporarily replaced Marcus Miller, and John Scofield was called in to assist Mike Stern. A simple bass riff conveys the jam session spirit of “Come Get It.” But the two guitarists (and the discrete presence of Gil Evans in the recording booth) directed the music toward the angular and virtuoso melodic abstraction of chromatic funk. Gil Evans often took the melodic lines—developed but not reduced to the couplet-refrain schemas of pop—from the sessions’ solos, listening to them again in the evening, and choosing excerpts to transcribe for the guitar and saxophone. Thus, “Star On Cicely” was borrowed from Mike Stern, and “Speak” and “It Gets Better” from John Scofield. This last one is not far from Miles’ return to the blues in his repertoire, as his part in “It Gets Better” shows. This is the last time Teo Macero was producer, and the first time Miles’ drawings were used for the cover of the album.

Tom Barney sustituyó temporalmente a Marcus Miller, y John Scofield fue llamado para ayudar a Mike Stern. Un sencillo riff de bajo transmite el espíritu de jam session de "Come Get It". Pero los dos guitarristas (y la discreta presencia de Gil Evans en la cabina de grabación) dirigieron la música hacia la angulosa y virtuosa abstracción melódica del funk cromático. Gil Evans a menudo tomaba las líneas melódicas -desarrolladas pero no reducidas a los esquemas de estribillo pareado del pop- de los solos de las sesiones, las volvía a escuchar por la noche y elegía fragmentos para transcribirlos para la guitarra y el saxofón. Así, "Star On Cicely" fue tomada prestada de Mike Stern, y "Speak" y "It Gets Better" de John Scofield. Este último no está lejos del regreso de Miles al blues en su repertorio, como demuestra su parte en "It Gets Better". Esta es la última vez que Teo Macero ejerció de productor, y la primera en que se utilizaron los dibujos de Miles para la portada del álbum.
