Listening task: Preserve the head's rhythmic identity; more notes do not make a riff swing harder. Mark the key, pickup, phrase lengths and ending before comparing another version.

Prompt: Use case: illustration-story. One original editorial feature illustration for Djangopedia's guide “Stompin' At The Savoy”. Landscape 1536 × 1024, opaque background. Scene: A fictional small swing band occupies one corner of a broad abstract dance floor while distant dancer silhouettes answer its riff. A contrasting descending colour staircase crosses the far wall. The tune's riff-friendly head and dominant bridge motivate a Savoy-inspired title setting, not an exact historical hall. Musical basis from the guide: A riff-friendly swing standard with a distinctive chain of dominant colours in the bridge. The contrast between relaxed tonic material and moving bridge harmony makes it useful for rhythmic development. The supplied chart is F major in the inherited chart; form: 32 bars, AABA; first source cell is unspecified; feel: Swing. These describe musical inspiration, not visible writing. Historical context: Stompin' At The Savoy is credited here to Edgar Sampson, Benny Goodman, Chick Webb. The source date is 1933; publication, composition and later lyric adaptations may have separate dates. Do not illustrate disputed historical claims or suggest this imagined scene is an archival session. Medium: mid-century editorial. Dominant palette: jade coral and midnight blue. Composition: wide diagonal dance-floor exchange. Human presence: four small figures and distant dancers. Strong intentional design, clearly drawn/painted, distinctive material marks; keep essential subject safely within the central 70 percent width and middle 80 percent height for card crops. Maintain enough visual substance at thumbnail size. Broad inspiration observed in old photo, ONLY scale/rhythm and never a reference image: wide seated outdoor group; repeated chairs; open daylight. Independently invent every pose, perspective, clothing, setting and lighting. Avoid: No terrace photo recreation, famous ballroom copy, repeated nightclub scene. No photorealism, archival simulation, generated text, letters, numbers, labels, fake musical notation, logo, signature, watermark, fake dates, yellowed-paper patina, recognizable artwork or copied photograph. No imitation of any named artist. Render the art edge to edge without borders, mockup or typography. Batch B diversity compensation: make light and midtone areas substantial; avoid near-black dominant backdrops, violet monochrome, empty chair/stool/bench compositions, repeated sunset terraces and generic cloud panoramas. Preserve the stated tune-specific scene. Human figures remain standing or peripheral except an explicitly named ensemble; no centered seated Django portrait. For graphic images use clearly plain colour shapes, no ruled parallel staffs, circles with stems, note-like marks or typography.
