The message this photo sends is: This band is going somewhere! With its transportation theme, it’s very fitting that this photo got a lot of milage: It adorned the cover of our first recording, Ragtime, Dixieland and All That Jazz; it was featured on the cover of the Peabody News; a version of it appeared on a full color poster advertising the Ensemble’s Russian tour, complete with Cyrillic lettering.
