Tutu

The album cover for Miles Davis’ album Tutu from 1986. The album is his tribute to Archbishop Desmond Tutu who was a human rights and anti-apartheid activist, for which he received the Nobel Peace Prize (1984).

Simple illustration of Miles Davis' cover to the "Tutu" album. His face is in close-up, with dramatic lighting from above and very high contrast.

Marcus Miller wrote and arranged all the songs, except “Tomaas” (co-written by Davis), “Backyard Ritual” (by keyboardist George Duke), and “Perfect Way” (by pop group Scritti Politti). Yeah, it’s a great album.
