The Assault

Miles, while smoking a cigarette outside Birdland between sets, is accosted by a police officer. A scuffle ensues, and Miles is hit on the back of the head by an off-duty detective. He is arrested for disorderly conduct and assault, taken to jail overnight and receives 10 stitches for his injury. The next day’s papers feature major headlines and photographs of Miles in a blood-stained white dinner jacket. The charges are ultimately dropped, as is Miles’ plan to sue the city. Nat Adderley—Cannonball’s brother—fills in for Miles for the remainder of the week at Birdland.
