Santa Claus as Refined Jazz Musician

Santa Claus as Refined Jazz Musician

A polished advertising image of Santa Claus as a refined jazz musician in a small, intimate jazz club setting, kept very minimal. Santa sits on a simple wooden stool near the edge of a low stage, with a warm, dark wooden floor and a rich, deep red curtain behind him, gently lit by one visible overhead spotlight cone. He is an older white man with a neatly groomed white beard, wearing a slim red velvet blazer, crisp white shirt, black trousers, and shiny black shoes, his Santa hat redesigned in a smaller, sleeker form. He cradles a golden saxophone resting against his leg, with a single vintage-style microphone on a stand in front of him as the only other prop. The empty club is suggested only by a few softly blurred round tables in the foreground, with no audience figures or decorations; warm focused lighting creates soft highlights on the brass and plenty of moody negative space, with no text, signage, or clutter.
