Scott Simon of NPR Weekend Edition interviewed the owner of the legendary jazz club, Lorraine Gordon, who reminisced about how Barbra Streisand’s first appearance at the club came about, noting she had first approached her husband, the late Max Gordon, founder and owner of the club.
“She wanted to sing down here, and Miles Davis was playing at the time,” Gordon says. “And Max asked Miles, as the story goes, if he’d accompany her. And Miles, in his inimitable fashion, says, ‘I don’t play for no girls.’ And he didn’t.”
