Miles Davis at Newman's Gym in San Francisco, circa 1971. The image was not used until Prestige released a compilation album in 1977.
"I first photographed Miles Davis in 1959, but not too well. I remember after a show in Berkeley, California, a little later around 1960, I went up to him backstage and asked why he had a green trumpet. He shot back at me, 'M—————r, do I ask you why you have a black camera?!'" - Jim Marshall
