Abstract
What can be made of Miles Davis’s gesture, at certain times, of playing with his back to the audience? In truth, Davis rarely played with his back to the audience, though he often played during the 1970s and 80s with his horn pointed downwards towards the stage floor instead of being projecting forwards towards the audience. But Davis certainly had a tendency to ignore the audience, especially when other members of his band were soloing.
