Who Am I??

Gonna try something....here are the rules. The 3 clues refer to the same one person (hopefully). You have to justify your answer by relating it to each one of the clues (don't just guess randomly).

Who am I:

1.) I own a golden statue of a device patented by a Berliner
2.) Something I produced, was the inspiration for the title on a square album cover, but 5 edges are associated with said album.
3.) Jerry Orbach brought his baby to a setting in which I once worked.

Good Luck!

Remember, don't answer unless you have compelling support for all 3 clues!

I know who it is and I'm not telling!

Ummm, dude, did you post a comment on your own post anonymously, bragging that you know the answer to the question you just asked? It seems to be from the same IP address. If Kris is posting, make her put her name down. No anonymous posters! It makes me feel sad :(

Also, I believe Miles Davis works as an answer to your riddle.

Dan says put down the reasoning behind your assertion that the solution is Miles Davis...

Stop being anonymous!

1. He won a Grammy in 1960, 1970, 1982, 1986, 1989 and 1993. By the way, the grammy award is modeled after the gramophone, which was patented by Emile Berliner.

The next two are rather obscure, but I believe they work:

2. There is an album called Pentagon by Mat Maneri which is said to be a homage to Miles Davis' Witches Brew. In fact, one of the tracks is actually named Withces Woo.

3. By this question you are obviously referencing the movie Dirty Dancing, in which Jerry Orbach brings his family (including daughter nicknamed Baby) to the Catskills. Now, this I haven't looked into all that deeply, but in the 50s and 60s Davis lived and worked in NYC, and it was very common practice for NYC entertainers to play in the Catskills in the summer. I really doubt Miles was an exception.

No.

2)Davis did not "produce" Bitches Brew, Teo Macero did and if there is a pentagon on a square album wouldn't that make nine edges?

The 2nd question says "5 edges are associated with said album". A pentagon has 5 edges. What's the problem there? As for the album not being "produced" by Miles Davis, that depends on your definition, which isn't clear in the question. Sure, he may not have been the Producer, but he sure as hell produced the music. Again, the question says "Something I produced..." not "Something for which I was a producer...". I win. I want my cookie.
