Prince of Darkness
"His cool, brooding presence, aloof demeanor, raspy voice, turning his back to the audience, even the dark clothes…Miles Davis was all of that, but also…'So What?' Even his harshest critics would go out of their way to catch his next performance. I cherished every opportunity to photograph this trumpet legend and to simply be in his presence."
