New Orleans' Musical Legends Park has several sculptures of prominent local musicians.
This one depicts jazz pianist Ronnie Kole. The life-sized bronze statue depicts him standing (one foot on a tiny piano) wearing a tuxedo and holding up a wine glass in an apparent toast. Unfortunately no information about the artist could be found but this article (
visit link) informs us that the work was dedicated in 2008.
The Park's website (
