The Man with the Horn is an album released by Miles Davis in 1981 (see 1981 in music), featuring Al Foster, saxophonist Bill Evans, Mike Stern and others. Rock-oriented in nature, the music fuses 80's pop with improvisational funk and fusion styles. The album marked Davis' return to his more traditional trumpet playing, although the title song "The Man with the Horn" features wah-wah improvisation along with vocals.
