Das ist leider nur ein Auszug in sehr bescheidener Qualität, aber vermutlich entstand das Foto auch damals?
There’s this most excellent footage floating around the ‘net of a John Lennon / Yoko Ono party from 1972 that features Andy Warhol, Phil Spector and Miles Davis. The 16mm color film was shot by filmmaker Jonas Mekas (the date was specifically October 9, 1972).
Great. Party footage. Looks like they had fun. Good for them. But what makes this unearthed party film so extra special is that it features Miles Davis and John Lennon shooting hoops.
Miles shows up around the 3:00 minute mark (with a very attractive female companion). The quick game of shoot-around starts around 5:00.
It’s so surreal, yet completely awesome. This is why YouTube is amazing. I just watched John Lennon and Miles Davis shooting hoops together.

Auf dem elenden Pinterest fand ich noch was, inkl. Infos:
John Lennon meeting Miles Davis during a Garden Party on June 12, 1971 at Allen Klein’s house. I am not sure what Davis and Lennon talked about, but video footage shows that they played a little game of one-on-one basketball (neither of them were very good) with John’s psychedelic Rolls in the background. A wide variety of people were at the party, including Andy Warhol, but Miles Davis was the person that John was photographed the most with that day.
