Summer: Miles works with British arranger Paul Buckmaster on material that could mark his comeback after five years. Although Buckmaster arranges some sessions (including one with bassist Marcus Miller and another with guitarist Pete Cosey), Miles fails to record anything. Even so, it is the first step to Miles’s re-emergence.
Miles, Marcus Miller and Bill Evans at Kix, Boston, June 1981.
