After a five-year hiatus, Miles Davis returned with 'The Man with the Horn,' a record that found him exploring funk and rock idioms with a slick, R&B-inflected production that divided critics and fans alike.

Miles Davis was a pioneering American jazz musician, trumpeter, and composer, widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in 20th-century music. In 1981, he was at a transitional point in his career, re-emerging after a period of seclusion with a renewed focus on contemporary sounds.
