Notes

AMG Review (2 !!):
This rather streaky set of music features Davis with keyboardist Robert Irving III (who has since slipped into obscurity) and guitarist John Scofield contributing most of the compositions and the other solos. There are some moments of interest (Branford Marsalis is heard on some cuts on soprano) but it is doubtful if anyone will be reviving "Robot 415," "Freaky Deaky" or "Code M.D." anytime soon. — Scott Yanow
Amazon.com: His last great album
This was Miles Davis last great classic album, released in 1984. Its the best of his 1980's fusion attempts and sounds just great. John Scofield plays electric guitar and is amazing- later Scofield recordings didnt always have him sounding as fresh as he does here on Decoy. The CD sounds very good.~Reviewer: A music fan from Bronx, NYC
