1989 studio album by Miles Davis
Aura is a concept album by Miles Davis, produced by Danish composer/trumpeter Palle Mikkelborg, released in 1989. All compositions and arrangements are by Mikkelborg, who created the suite in tribute when Davis received the Léonie Sonning Music Prize in December 1984, the year Decoy was released.[1][2][3] This was Miles Davis's final album released in his lifetime.
- ^ A prestigious award, mostly given to classical composers and musicians; see official website Archived March 11, 2007, at the Wayback Machine. Miles Davis was the first non-classical musician to receive the prize, and was particularly happy to receive the prize when he learned that Igor Stravinsky was one of the earlier recipients.
- ^ Prior to the concert, Miles Davis was announced to only play for the last ten minutes of the suite. He eventually played for over 40 minutes, also playing Cyndi Lauper and Rob Hyman's "Time After Time" and his own "Jean Pierre".
