Notice how during the jazz scene there is a drummer present on stage, yet the pianist is the one setting the tempo for the other members, only to give his ending speech right after. I believe Nick was just playing the whole evening, waiting for Bill to come in and conveniently end the show so he could talk with him and lure him deeper into the rabbit hole.
All of this would be in the context in which Alice, Nightingale, and the prostitute are in on the plan to make sure Bill goes to the party.
