Miles in the Greenroom - (1981)
Artist: Frank Stewart
Medium: Gelatin Silver Print
Location: Louisville, KYProvenance: Acquired from Frank Stewart in 2011.
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.
