About

A particularly strong set by late-period Miles Davis, this LP is highlighted by a surprisingly straight-ahead performance titled "Mr. Pastorius." In addition to Davis and his new altoist Kenny Garrett, various guests (including Marcus Miller, guitarist Jean-Paul Bourelly, Joey DeFrancesco on keyboards, Rick Margitza on tenor, pianist Joe Sample, and bassist Foley) get their chances to play next to the great legend who is in top form. An excellent effort, it was really his last studio recording with his regular band. – All Music

The third and final collaboration between Miles and Miller, resulted in a heady mix of go-go, zouk, funk and jazz-swing. It also saw Miller mix electronic instruments with live musicians. Amandla features a number of strong numbers including the ballad title track, the opening joyous number “Catémbe”, the bitter-sweet “Hannibal” and the superb “Mr. Pastorius,” which sees Miles, Miller and drummer Al Foster playing jazz-swing on a soulful tribute. – The Last Miles
