New York, 2003 around 2 AM. The Fat Cat (jazz club and pool hall) is swinging. Beer is sold outside the jazz club section in bottles. Tonight the bass is tight, the drums rock, the piano is on the money and the sax is stellar. But then again this is New York. The bum in the corner probably plays sax. And of course he's stellar too.
For the life of me I couldn't think of this quartet's name. J.J. Wes and the East Side Swing Cats. Montgomery Flash and the Blue Saints. Red's All Star Swing Revue. Who cares. They don't. Sax guy quickly mumbles the introduction into the mic and then Drums guy counts four so they can do what they came here to do: play.
