The Miles Jazz Cafe, a low-key, off-the-mainline music loft in midtown Manhattan, is being sued by the estate of trumpeter Miles Davis for copyright infringement, citing use of the musician’s silhouette as “free-riding on the goodwill associated with the Miles Davis marks” in a way “likely to mislead the public.” 
The perpetually photogenic Davis was represented by a silhouette on album covers of his early 1960s Columbia albums Seven Steps to Heaven, Sketches of Spain and Quiet Nights. Compare the logo of the bare-bones third-floor room run by Satoru “Miles” Kobayashi, who says the late jazzman urged him to take the name in a dream, with that famous image or other pictures of MD holding his horn.Same trumpeter? Hard to tell.
