Miles Davis Doo-Bop

Miles Davis' final studio album, Doo-Bop, stands as one of the most fascinating and forward-thinking releases in the legendary trumpeter's unparalleled catalogue. Recorded in 1991 and released posthumously in 1992, the album captures Miles continuing his lifelong pursuit of musical innovation, embracing hip-hop at a time when few jazz artists of his generation were willing to venture into the genre.

For the project, Davis teamed up with pioneering hip-hop producer Easy Mo Bee, whose work with artists such as Big Daddy Kane, The Notorious B.I.G. and 2Pac helped shape the sound of East Coast hip-hop. Together, they created a unique fusion of jazz improvisation, funk grooves, rap beats and contemporary production, resulting in a record that pushed the boundaries of both genres.

Tragically, Miles passed away before the album could be completed, making Doo-Bop his first posthumous release. Despite its unfinished nature, the album remains a powerful testament to Davis' relentless creativity and refusal to stand still artistically. Easy Mo Bee served as producer, co-writer and guest lyricist, helping bring Miles' final musical vision to life.

More than three decades later, Doo-Bop remains a bold and influential statement from an artist who spent his entire career redefining what jazz could be. Pressed on 140g vinyl LP, this edition offers a chance to rediscover one of the most unique and adventurous recordings in the Miles Davis catalogue.
