Audio documentation available upon request.

We peer over the back of silhouetted audience members’ heads as a band plays on stage at the Grand Luxe Hall. To the left, a dark-haired man in a light-colored suit plays the piano. Beside him is a dark-haired drummer sitting behind a white drum kit. In front of the drummer is a saxophonist dressed in all black, leaning forward slightly as he plays.

We peer over a blurry audience member’s shoulder at a dark-haired man playing the piano in the Grand Luxe Hall. He wears glasses and a pinstriped top, peering down at his sheet music with deep focus. Behind him, a small sign on the wall reads NO SMOKING.

Two dark-haired men pose in front of the Western Front, one smiling and one somber. The smiling man wears a leather jacket over a light-colored dress shirt tucked into dark-wash jeans. The somber man wears glasses, a puffer jacket and a patterned vest over a white dress shirt and white trousers.

A bearded man stands in front of the doors of the Western Front, smiling at the camera with kind eyes. He wears a leather jacket, a dark vest, and a dress shirt. He holds a messenger bag under his right arm. To his left a man with disheveled curls and glasses stands with his side to the camera, smiling slyly with his head tilted. He wears a fur-lined puffer jacket.
