There is not enough time to learn about all the beautiful people from Jazz and dance. Frances Davis is one of them, I wasn't looking for this video interview. But I am glad that I found it. I think you will find it as interesting as I did.
She lived a very interesting life, including her time with Miles, but her dance career was so wonderful.
It is a sad story for those of us who think highly of Miles Davis, he could be such an ass, and in this case he was!
Video Notes;
Frances Taylor Davis shares her life history as a pioneering dancer with Katherine Dunham dance company, her marriage to Miles Davis and renewal after as a survivor. Recorded at the Italian Cultural Center, Los Angeles. 50min feature. Jonathan Bewley producer. Rick Bowman videographer. http://snapshotsfoundation.com/
Hope you enjoy it.
