Sure to bring out the impulsive streak in wanna be buskers.

Spontaneous improvisation - fantastic freedom in lots of ways.

So young and so talented.....

Can anyone name the tune?

 

[old git]

Is it by one of the guys that Ellington ripped off? Same changes as In a Mellow Tone?
BTW As a tenor player, it does suggest we are all show offs.

Stompin' at the Savoy - A Benny Goodman ditty I think ?

 

[old git]

Golly gosh chaps, do apologise for getting it wrong.

Good video. Stompin' at the Savoy and mention of Goodman reminded me I have a 78 (but no means of playing it now!) of the number by Woody Herman's New Third Herd on the London Label. I can't date it but the Third Herd must be early 1950s after the Four Brothers Second Herd which broke up in 1949. The number is attributed to Sampson (?), Goodman, Webb (Chick?) and Andy Razaf which sounds an odd mix.

The sort of thing I like to think is an everyday occurence in NYC.
Sorry to be a smart alec but, Chick Webb, btw.
