Dancing with a baritone while playing free-form jazz? Would that work this side of the pond? Look at the dosh going into the hat though.........

That's fab. I'd definitely chuck a quid or so in the bucket.

I think the trick is that they are amazingly good players.
Not sure about the dancing.

P.S. Doing that in the London Underground would be probably illegal.

I can't see M&S putting up with that for a couple of hours nevermind Greggs.

I'm with Colin. They are a bit like the crew that blew me off New Street in Birmingham. I dare say they earn quite well but I think it would be hard for them to return to the same area for a while.

Too Many Zooz = Awesome. Just makes me want to pick up and play. great inspiration indeed.

Just watched it again all the way through. I thought the guy with the keyboard was going to join in. Also.had a listen to some of their other studio vids. Better sound and interesting ideas.

Very good but it ain't free form jazz. It's too structured.

Reminds me of something...

A friend of mine in NY says he sees them most days when he walks to work so I guess they do get away with working the same spot. NY presumably more open to this stuff than Birmingham then, which is hardly ground-shaking news........
