Re: PESO - Come Blow your Horn
I don’t mind the background at all. I also like the guy’s pose. The only thing that bugs me is that the drummer’s face is partly obscured.

Re: PESO - Come Blow your Horn
Too bad about the busy background -- he certainly isn't phoning it in.. good capture on the pose Did he play Birks Works?

Re: PESO - Come Blow your Horn
As Mark said, the background puts the sax player in context (though it -is- ugly). One could try burning in the street by a stop or so, which might preserve the context while being less distracting.

Re: PESO - Come Blow your Horn
Thanks, Rick. The background is already plenty burned. I could burn it a bit more, see how it looks. Thanks for the comment!

Re: PESO - Come Blow your Horn
Does phoning it in refer to the payphone on the wall? LOL! I didn't hear Birk's Works. A Night in Tunisia was the only Gillespie composition I recognized.
