The Man with the Horn is an album released by Miles Davis in 1981 (see 1981 in music), featuring Al Foster, saxophonist Bill Evans, guitarists Mike Stern and Barry Finnerty, and others. It was Davis' first new release since 1974, when he'd gone into a reclusive retirement for six years. Rock-oriented in nature, the music fuses 80's pop with improvisational funk and fusion styles.
