James Maycock, Pride, April 2002
Intro: I think Im the only journalist in about 20 years to have tracked down and interviewed Miles Davis now reclusive ex-wife who was an extraordinary/outrageous funk musician in her own right. I wrote something on her for the Daily Telegraph, but this one for Pride magazine is longer.
