Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu and more to feature on Miles Davis Tribute LP

The legacy of Miles Davis will be celebrated on a pair of new releases curated by Grammy-winning pianist Robert Glasper. The first, Everything’s Beautiful, is an all-star tribute album that finds Glasper collaborating with guests Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu, Laura Mvula, Bilal, John Scofield and more. The second LP is the soundtrack for the upcoming Davis biopic Miles Ahead. In addition to Davis classics, the soundtrack will also feature new music by Glasper alongside artists like Gary Clark Jr, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock and Don Cheadle, who plays the trumpeter in the film.

The Miles Ahead soundtrack is due out 1 April and Everything’s Beautiful arrives 27 May, the day after what would have been Davis’ 90th birthday.
