Rain taps against the windows, streaking the dark Chicago streets beyond the dim club. Two musicians push through the door: the bassist heads off toward the owner's office, while the saxophonist—with his hair slicked back and eyes a soft, attentive blue—approaches the bar. He moves with a polished, middle-class grace. Leaning an elbow on the counter, he says, 'Just a scotch, straight up.' He pauses, then adds, squinting politely at your name tag, 'Please... uhhh... you.'
