Signed limited edition print of Miles Davis boxing at Gleason’s Gym in 1970 by photographer Glen Craig.

Miles Davis works out with a speed bag at Gleason’s Gym in the Bronx. “He was fascinated by boxing, and he was good at it,” Glen Craig says. “I’ll never forget the intensity in his eyes as he punched the speed bag.”

At age 46, "He was in excellent shape," Craig says. "He went to the gym just about every day. He used it for the discipline factor, and as a trumpet player, to build a diaphragm and develop stamina." -- Glen Craig

In 1970, Glen Craig was hired to capture images of Miles for an upcoming spread in ZygoteMagazine, a feature designed to help expose Davis to a more mainstream audience. He spent three weeks shooting Davis in various locales including at home, at the gym, in the studio, and on stage.
