Description

An unidentified drummer is obscured by a cymbal, and Dan Pliskow, double bass player, accompany Claude. Spencer Barefield, guitar, looks at Claude and Marcus from the back of the stage. Charlie Gabriel, saxophone looks back at the Dan Pliskow while holding his eyeglasses in both hands. Big Bill Bissonnette, trombone, smiles out at the audience that is not in the photograph. Music stands line the front of the stage. The date, "4 10 '01," is imprinted by the camera on the bottom right-hand corner of the photograph.
