You're Under Arrest is a 1985 album recorded by Miles Davis, presenting a mixture of pop covers (including Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" and Michael Jackson's "Human Nature"), and original material dealing with politics, racism, pollution and war. It is the first Davis album since On the Corner in 1972 to feature electric guitarist John McLaughlin, and the first to feature alto saxophonist Kenny Garrett, who was in the Davis touring group at that time.

Background

During the recording sessions, bass player Darryl Jones introduced Sting to Davis, who was an idol of his. Sting was startled when Davis asked if he spoke French; after he said yes, Davis asked him to translate the Miranda warning into French and yell it into the microphone against a backing track.[5]

It marked the ending of Davis's 30-year association with Columbia Records, although the label released the 1984 recording Aura in 1989, and would release many archival recordings after Davis died.
