  4. Photo (Om): In the bottom right, there’s a moody, black-and-white photo of a man with long hair and a beard playing an acoustic guitar, captioned “Om”. This likely refers to the band “Om” mentioned in the text.

Article Highlights (from the text):

  • The Newport Jazz Festival will be held in Boston, not Rhode Island, this year.
