{"product_id":"miles-davis-amandla-cd","title":"Miles Davis - Amandla [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmandla is Miles Davis's final studio album released during his lifetime, a warm, groove-rich late-period statement presented here on CD in a digipak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased in 1989, it continued his partnership with bassist and producer Marcus Miller, who also wrote much of the material. The title, a word meaning power used in the South African struggle against apartheid, hints at the album's global outlook, which draws on funk, zouk and go-go rhythms as well as jazz. It's polished but never sterile, with plenty of room for Davis to stretch out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Catémbe\" opens with a buoyant, lilting rhythm that feels like sunshine. \"Hannibal\" is a melodic standout that became a live favourite, while the title track \"Amandla\" is a gentle, beautifully paced ballad with Davis's muted trumpet at its most tender. \"Mr. Pastorius\" pays tribute to the late bass genius Jaco Pastorius with quiet affection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSaxophonist Kenny Garrett brings fire to several tracks, and Miller's layered arrangements give everything a lush, modern sheen without ever smothering the trumpet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone exploring Davis's electric years, Amandla is a rewarding destination, a record that shows him still curious and open to new sounds. It's a fitting late chapter from a musician who never wanted to stand still.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57518468268337,"sku":"603497804450","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Miles_Davis-Amandla_CD.jpg?v=1794678951","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/miles-davis-amandla-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
