    I had originally given this two stars, but I gave just added a third after listening to the opening groove off of "What It Is." Definitely the best riff from Miles' later period.

      A very funky album from the king of jazz

        Decoy is a studio album that showed Miles was still listening to contemporary black music and making it very personal.
