Miles Davis - Amandla (Jazz Best Collection 1000)

Amandla, publicado originalmente en 1989, es la tercera y última colaboración entre Miles Davis y el bajista, multi-instrumentista y productor Marcus Miller, luego de Tutu (1986) y Music from Siesta (1987), correspondiente al último período de Davis.
Incluye algunas buenas composiciones (Catémbe, Hannibal, Jo-Jo, Amandla) y varias sólidas participaciones solistas, en particular del saxofonista Kenny Garrett.
En el marco de un sonido ochentoso, Miles vuelve a las fuentes con la más tradicional Mr. Pastorius, dedicada al genial bajista, desaparecido prematuramente, Jaco Pastorius.***1/2
