This was the year Davis released the monumental double-album, Bitches Brew, widely considered a turning point for modern jazz. 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 The phot0graph is 16 x 20 silver gelatin print with the Mat, its approx. 19 x 24.25 unsigned, stamped on reverse This photo is known as don’t hit me in the mouth, i gotta play tonight The setting, Newman’s Gym, in 1971 and the fact that Miles would let Jim, or ANY photographer, shadow him during his workouts, which he viewed as sort of a sacred part of his regimen. And a boxing gym in the Tenderloin? For me, whose grandpa boxed Golden Gloves, I’m not sure there’s anything cooler. The way Jim captures the combative side of Miles somehow it’s not so surprising that Miles was a devotee of the sweet science. Boxing, especially back in the day, was a combo of deft, swift and lethal talents, something that Miles playing and Jims approach to capturing his subjects had in common. The photo comes with a letter of authenticity , signed by Jim Marshalls exclusive printer.
