If they don't get paid they hang the trombonist by his scarf. However, such is his astonishing flexibility and athleticism he ducks and dives until he frees himself from the noose and lives to play another day. I see they're covering up the pianist's face but the E-flat in his left hand tells me it's that old Jade Busen musician, Mr M, Gavan, esq. Great stuff, lads - encore mes amis!!!
