Who played on Letter 4 Miles? Anybody know?

I just listened to this. It'd be quite a nice little track if it weren't for the dodgy instrumentation.

What would possess someone to use awful sounding electric piano sounds when it'd be easy enough to use an acoustic piano and get a much better sound?

Damn.

Who played on this track? What are your thoughts on it?

Any info u have would be greatly appreciated.

pray

Prince and Micheal B. recorded this song on September 30th 1991 , 2 days after Miles Davis's death. A horn arrangement was added later by the Hornzhead.

But what's it actually called, doesn't it have another name?

"Miles Is Alive"
The title is understood to be 'Letter 4 Miles'. It has also been circulated under the titles 'Miles Is Alive' and 'Miles Is Not Dead'.

None of these titles have been filed at the Library of Congress.
