A Spring Day at Columbus Circle - NYC

A warm day at last. We headed for Central Park. When we got off of the bus we found a wonderful combo playing smooth jazz. The group consisted of a drummer, double base, guitar, saxophone, trumpet and flugelhorn. They played for two hours non-stop for contributions from passers by.


This is a photo of Rasheed, the trumpet/flugelhorn player. He is very talented. Although Rasheed captured much of our attention - as you can tell from this photo when he played two horns at once, the other members of the group are also wonderfully talented.




This was a great way to spend a beautiful day.


Columbus Circle is located at an entrance to Central Park. John turned and took a photo over his shoulder of these spring flowers. Daffodils, tulips, crocus, hyacinths, snow drops seem to be blooming everywhere.
