During rush hour at a five-way intersection in Go Vap District, HCM City, the sounds of jazz saxophone could be heard over the traffic noise. It came from a saxophone played by Jeremy Danneman from New York.
Danneman tells Phap Luat TPHCM newspaper that on March 21, 2009, he celebrated his 29th birthday by walking down the street and playing the saxophone. He played for 10 hours, but he did not feel tired. Danneman was happy and found that he loved playing on the street because everyone could stop to enjoy his performance.
This is the second time Danneman has come to Vietnam, and he has visited many different sites around the country. When he goes anywhere, he always takes his saxophone and plays it, and Saigon is the place he has played the most. Besides saxophone, Danneman plays clarinet. To Danneman, the rhythm of the saxophone is suitable for noisy and crowded streets.
Danneman says that he also plays in parks, and in his opinion, traffic jams are interesting in Saigon. In New York, he plays in the mornings, while in Vietnam he plays after work. At that time, people may feel tired because of traffic jams, and Danneman hopes that the rhythms from his saxophone will make them forget their fatigue.
