The ultimate Joe Maneri collector's item

I saw this last week-end at the Jazz à Liège festival. At the time, I wondered why some guy watching TV was among the other musical sculptures. Then I checked out Jazz Riff. Only 1370 euros!

There's also a nice one of Paul Lovens. A mere 620 euros.

My favourite isn't on the website, though. One of a pianist completely bent over his instrument. The piano is only evoked through a few keys on a sort of curled bar. Hard to describe, but looked really good. If I had the money for this sort of thing, I would've bought it.

There ya go, Steve.

That dude really seems to like Jazz and lizards.

i guess size doesnt matter

They're pretty hefty. They'd take up a fair amount of space on a shelf or mantle-piece. The sizes are written on the site. The sculptor has also done a bust of Ellery Eskelin.
