When photographer Don Hunstein shot this portrait of Miles outside Davis's home on West 77th Street in June 1969, the jazz legend was at the midpoint between the sessions which would produce his two revolutionary jazz-fusion masterpieces: In A Silent Way (recorded in February '69) and Bitches Brew (recorded in August '69). Davis's recent move to electrified instruments is echoed in his futurist fashion sensibility. The button-down black & white cool of bebop Miles has made way for a psychedelic patchwork vest and custom-made wrap-around shades.

Lucy Z. ★★★★★

The black-and-white portrait captures that exact mid-1969 tension between albums, and the gallery print quality makes every shadow detail pop. I’ve stared at it for ten minutes already and keep noticing something new in his expression.
