Note: According to Down Beat (Mar. 17, 1960, p. 49), Miles Davis priced himself out of a gig at the Sundown Club in Los Angeles: „Miles Davis, reputedly getting $3,500 a night for concert appearances with his quintet, asked for a flat $5,000 for a 10-day stand at Jimmie Maddin’s Sundown, according to the clubowner. Maddin wouldn’t buy it.“
