Straw-hatted man in green pants and red jacket leans against a gravestone as he 'belts out a blues tune' from his trumpet under a full white moon that rises in a blue-black sky. A small cross sits atop a brown stone at the viewer's left, the stone at right seems to have a ghostly figure springing out of it in response to the man's musical emotions.
