Audio documentation available upon request.

Artist Paul Cram stands holding a clarinet while fixing his moustache. He is on a stage, with a drum kit behind him and lights flooding from the top of the image.

Paul Plimley plays the vibraphone with vigour. His lips are pursed and he holds a mallet in each hand, while looking concentrated at the instrument.

Gregg Simpson sits behind a drumkit with one drumstick raised, ready to play. He has a moustache and wears a black button down shirt.
