Juliette Gréco walked onstage wild, tangled hair, kohl-rimmed eyes, black trousers, a turtleneck. No costume, just a presence. Her melancholic voice and that sensual mystique held audiences for six decades. She became an international star without ever softening any of it.

​

In postwar Paris, she fell in love with Miles Davis. The romance didn't survive American racism. He could walk freely through Saint-Germain-des-Prés, but not through the country either of them would have had to live in together.

​

She kept singing. He kept playing.
