Miles in the Greenroom

The Artist’s Words

“I was freelancing for Ebony magazine, but it took Miles (Davis’s) sister’s connections to get me into the green room, where the cast goes before a show. I knew him from my childhood because his sister lived a few doors from my dad’s house in Chicago. Miles was coming back to the jazz scene after an absence of some years.”
