In this black and white photograph, a man with slicked-back hair in a short-sleeved shirt and cuffed dark blue jeans stands in front of a microphone playing the guitar. He has a drum strapped to his back, a horn tied to his waist, a tambourine attached to his foot, and another percussion instrument fastened to his knee. In the background are other musicians waiting their turns to perform.
