There's much to like here. Composition, the pose of my name brother, he is supaah cool. I kind of like the burned out hand. It directs my eye to the most important part of frame. There is no way to miss the trumpet. All this makes the technical difficulties a non issue.
There is one thing do I miss. Jazz music, not to say all music, is all about communication. Communication with the listeners and communication _within_ the band. The guitar player don't seem to listen to the solo from the trumpeter. He sits there doing his "thing". If you are a jazz man Frank, and I believe you are, you know what I mean. The communication may be there, but it is not obvious to me as a viewer. Despite my nits: It _is_ an interesting and pretty "cool" photo.
