This subterranean duet of saxophone and steel drum were brightening up the Times Square station with their own version of the jazz standard, "Take Five".
ya Mon...
Way cool. Love it.
That was such a good mix..gotta admit though I almost love the kid in the red shirt more, who dropped the duo some $$ before boarding the train..I was getting a little sad seeing nobody drop a thing in the sax case. I always drop something in the tip buckets/cases/cans even if the music entertainment might not be so great, and come to think of it, I can't think now of any street players I haven't enjoyed in some way. People are so creative. Recently one of the most enjoyable street gigs I enjoyed was on the Ocean City boardwalk..a kid had built his own drum set outta old industrial sized buckets and paint cans. I dropped him a pretty big bill and I would have given him more if I physically had it with me.

A further note about this video: if you click the play button immediately after the video ends the notes that are played at the beginning follow the notes that had just been played at the end, creating a continuum.
