'E-Tunes' - a New York Subway Moment

A long and productive afternoon, evening, and night of subway riding and shooting
was drawing to a contented end, as the clean and bright E Train I was riding from
Jamaica Center in Queens tunneled into Midtown Manhattan.

I must have been looking at my photos when a musical tone caught my attention.

Looking up from my cameras, I saw this enterprising young musician launch into
Paul Desmond’s jazz classic “Take Five.” He followed it with Henry Mancini’s playfully
infectious "Pink Panther,” which I noticed had most of my fellow passengers smiling.

Yes, the photog laid a bill in his clarinet case…

      Thank you, Stefania - Happy you liked it. 
      So many spontaneous musical moments to be enjoyed in the NYC Subway.
      My guess is that she was just pleasantly tired after a trip - they boarded at Sutphin Boulevard which is the station serving the JFK AirTrain - and just taking in the music ;-) But I love to read what viewers see in captured moments like this one.
      Thanks for visiting my work.

    Paul Desmond ..
    I've heard him two times in Berlin,
    - long time ago ..
    but sometimes I meet a streetmusician  too,
     who plays this " Take Five "-melody ..
     in an underground station or a shopping mall corner .

    But I hope, that this covid-Pandemie will end
     soon  - I miss  the original jazzclub atmosphere .. ;-(((

    have a nice day too
     at the ' big apple ' ,
    Michael
