Event Description

Nucomme  presents a multimedia musical tribute to Betty Mabry Davis—ex-wife and muse of Miles Davis, contemporary of Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone, and most notably, innovator of jazz funk fusion. Raunchy, raw, outrageous, Betty was decades ahead of her time in the early ‘70s, when she released three critically acclaimed albums steeped in sexual energy and in your face takes on love, power, and gender roles. While she disappeared from the music scene in the mid-‘70s, her musical and stylistic influence reverberates on Miles Davis’ classic Bitches Brew and is still evident in artists like Madonna and Prince. Nucomme tell Betty’s story through her music, narration, recordings, dance, and photos.
