So friday I'm on my way to work. I am walking down the escalator and hear a trumpet playing So What by Miles Davis. I admit I felt a bit annoyed hearing a trumpet first thing in the morning. As I walked by I had to stop when I realized that a lady had her baby there and this might be the first time that the child was hearing this music. I stopped, watched and took a picture. This fellow always seems to be passionately enjoying his playing and this was no exception. The baby loved it, wasn't crying and was paying direct attention to So What and I felt a little silly for being annoyed. It is a great tune and he was playing it well and with passion.

The train came and I jumped on without making any further notes, so if you know the musician's name please post. I will update this post as soon as possible.
