Reviews:
“The controversial but memorable Tutu is mostly a duet between Miles Davis and the many overdubbed instruments of producer Marcus Miller (although violinist Michał Urbaniak, percussionist Paulinho da Costa, and keyboardist George Duke are among the other musicians making brief appearances). The results are not all that spontaneous, but Davis is in top form and some of the selections (most notably the title cut) are quite memorable.” AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow
