You're Under Arrest by Miles Davis.
Released in 1985 on Columbia, this record captures Miles Davis at a fascinating crossroads, embracing the electric, electronic textures that defined his later career. Recorded and mixed in its entirety at Record Plant Studios in New York City, with mastering by Bob Ludwig at Masterdisk, it stands as a document of Davis the restless innovator—still chasing new sounds decades after reshaping jazz. Davis produced the album alongside Robert Irving III, and even contributed the cover illustration himself, making this a deeply personal statement wrapped in an inner artwork sleeve.
The playing is where the album truly comes alive. Davis's trumpet threads through arrangements he shaped himself, joined by a formidable cast: John Scofield and John McLaughlin trade sharp, expressive guitar lines, Darryl Jones anchors the low end on bass, and Steve Thornton adds percussive color. Robert Irving III's arrangements lend the sessions a sleek, contemporary framework, while the interplay between two guitarists of Scofield and McLaughlin's caliber gives the record genuine textural depth and edge.
For the collector, this is an essential piece of Davis's electric period—an original Columbia pressing engineered and mixed with care by Ron Lorman and Tom Swift. Its blend of jazz sensibility and forward-looking electronic production makes it endlessly rewarding on the turntable, and a distinctive addition to any serious Miles Davis shelf.
