Ever hear a recording of Miles Davis' Jack Johnson? That's power. This statue of Davis stands in his home town of Alton, Illinois, just upriver from St. Louis. The pose is drawn from the album cover of that piece. Worth a look and a listen - https://youtu.be/3U_jem9q_mg

Another statue of a native of Alton, Illinois, Miles Davis. One of the giants of jazz came from this bit of a backwater, although he didn't stay long. It's a wonderful statue, showing him with his spine arched backward, so often his posture in intense passages.
The caption comes from an early album of the same name (an example at https://youtu.be/KcoqwKEtYDs). I became acquainted with Davis when his style turned to jazz-rock fusion in the powerful Jack Johnson of 1971, https://youtu.be/DEBKksupBVA. A glance at the album cover on Youtube will show you where the statue's posture came from.
