Ever the trouper, Dolores dons Elvis cape and shades and belts out "Viva Las Vegas," "It's Now or Never"and "My Way." So she's performing in the motel...
...with Miles Davis--whom Macero likened to a spouse--Macero had unusual latitude to cut and shape Davis' improvisations, often co-creating pieces. Among the albums he oversaw: Davis' Bitches Brew, In a Silent Way and the monumentally influential Kind of Blue, as well as such pop collections as Simon and Garfunkel's sound track for The Graduate and the original Broadway cast recording of A Chorus Line.
