Star People is a 1983 album recorded by Miles Davis and issued by Columbia Records. It is the third release after the trumpeter's six-year hiatus. Beside the members of the band of We Want Miles the recordings feature John Scofield for the first time, who worked alongside Mike Stern in Davis's band in late 1982 and early 1983 before Stern's departure later in the year. Scofield was recommended by saxophonist Bill Evans

Miles Davis ‎– Star People. Label: Columbia ‎– FC 38657. Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Stereo. Art Direction – John Berg. Artwork – Miles Davis.

Star People is Miles' second studio album after his much celebrated return from retirement. This is a good jazz fusion album full of stellar performances by some of the top players of the day, yet by Miles standards it seems to fall a little short. The problem is that even though this record came out in the early 80s, it features a more or less 70s style jazz-rock. Staying with the same style too long can rob your music of it's emotional impact. Star People has little of the chaotic rage of Live at the Fillmore or Dark Magus, nor does it have the quiet mystery of Pangea or Agharta

He really stretches out on "Star People," making dramatic use of silence and placing each note carefully. Come Get It" is also memorable although "U 'n' I" (which had the potential to catch on) is only heard in a truncated version.
