Max Roach and Clifford Brown at Olivia Davis' Patio Lounge

A “miles-stone” in my life, when, as a freshly graduated student at the U. S. Navy School of Music 1955 in Anacostia, a couple of bids and I got to Olivia Davis’ Patio Lounge to see Miles Davis. The admission of over a dollar took some scrambling, and some help from the ticket seller becaus we were in uni,! but we made it in. And experienced the musical event of a lifetime. He never turned his back on us. Magnificent!
