You're Under Arrest è un album registrato nel 1985 da Miles Davis che raggiunse la terza posizione nella classifica Jazz Albums statunitense.

Il disco

In questo album, Davis inserì sia canzoni popolari, sia altri brani con riferimenti a temi sociali quali il razzismo, l'inquinamento e la guerra. La presenza, in questo disco, dei due brani Time After Time (Cyndi Lauper) e Human Nature di Michael Jackson fu molto criticata dalla stampa specializzata in musica jazz, mentre il disco fu, nel suo complesso, elogiato.

Durante la registrazione Darryl Jones presentò Davis a Sting (che ne era da lungo tempo ammiratore). Con sua meraviglia Davis chiese a Sting se sapeva parlare francese e, alla sua risposta affermativa, gli chiese di tradurre l'avviso Miranda in quella lingua e di urlarlo nel microfono durante la registrazione della prima traccia dell'album.

I brani Katia Prelude e Katia sono dedicati alla pianista francese, amica di Davis, Katia Labèque^[1].
