MILES DAVIS AND MARCUS MILLER Music From Siesta
(Numbered Limited Edition 2026 UK/EU
10-track soundtrack LP pressed on 180-gram Gold
Vinyl, limited to 1000 copies
worldwide)
The 1987 soundtrack to the film Siesta,
based on Patrice Chaplin's book and starring Ellen Barkin,
Gabriel Byrne and Martin Sheen. By the end of 1986, with Miles
Davis' career in resurgence, he was approached by the film's
producers and immediatelyasked Marcus Miller to help
compose and produce. As with Tutu, Miles looked to Miller,
working with keyboardist and programmer Jason Miles, to
compose and construct the various tracks over which he blew
his trumpet parts. The soundtrack came together in early
1987 in Los Angeles, Miller and Jason Miles working in North
Hollywood, and Miles driving in from Malibu to play his
parts.
Miller brought in guitarists John
Scofield and Earl Klugh, flautist James Walker, and drummer
Omar Hakim to add solos and texture. Dedicated to
arranger Gil Evans, the music is greatly influenced by his
style, with Miller creating an electrified but very warm
orchestra to accompany Davis's melodic solos. This was the
first of several instances in which Miles Davis, in the twilight
of his life, returned to his roots.
The Observer lauded
the soundtrack for being "elegiac, Miles Davis being use for
his remarkable ability to make the trumpet sound like the
most wisely sad of all instruments". Highly
recommended.
