medjuck Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 That's Fran. I think you're right. I wonder what Betty thought? .. or maybe she had left by then and he dug it back out of the storage box. Did I read here once that Fran works at the Hamburger Hamlet on the Sunset Strip? I was there about a month ago and the hostess looked like it could have been her. Didn't want to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Could well have been. I think I heard that one too. Lovely lady, from what I have seen on interviews with her on various Miles DVDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medjuck Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Thanks. I think it was her. BTW I don't think she was his first wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Lovely photos, but the story itself among other things places the Davis nonet (i.e. the Birth of the Cool band) in the 1960s. Maybe that's where the phrase "close enough for jazz" comes from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Thanks. I think it was her. BTW I don't think she was his first wife. Wasn't he married to Lil Armstrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Of course he was. She was the pianist in his Cool Five recording group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertrand Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Miles was never officially married to Irene, the woman generally referred to as his first wife (and the mother of Cheryl), so Frances was the first. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
