HELP!

I booked a trio gig at a new place today and he asked for a promotional photo for his website. The piano player is in South America for the next two weeks and I couldn't find any suitable gig photos of this trio (or any close approximation of it). I've got a few things that might pass as "arty" if I crop and sepia enough and I could take a photo of my bass leaning on a piano bench with a ... I don't know martini glass or some such ********.

Anyone got anything that I could use just once? Obviously not a photo of your trio, but maybe a instrument shot or something completely obscured by shadow or...something?

Hey Troy, go with the martini glass and your lovely bass. They are international symbols for 'cool jazz music'.

I'm a graphic designer and could cobble something up for you, but I don't work for free....

PM me if interested.

You will also need an ashtray overflowing with cigarette butts

Thanks, I wouldn't ask you to. I'm really just looking for something one time use. I have a few photos that might work or I might stage something. I was hoping someone had an underexposed photo of a gig or something that could work until the guys were back in town.

Thanks for a couple of nice offers. I found a gig photo that with a bit of photo editing and obscuring should serve my purposes, until we can come up with something better. Funny, but in 10 years playing here in Seattle, since moving out here in 2000, this is the first time a venue has asked me for this.
