Quiet on the set.

One should never talk during a coffee shop session of a vocal jazz band in a church. You will have people come up and tell you to be quiet. You will have others tell you that you should just leave if you are going to continue to talk.

Church people can be a little uptight while trying to listen to vocal jazz.
