Suitably impressed

The little town I call home is between two major cities. As such, there isn't much of a social scene. I usually have to go elsewhere for entertainment. So imagine my surprise when I pull back into town after a mind-cleansing drive, and hear the distinct sound of a saxophone and drums outside my local coffeehouse. I do a long u-turn, and walk to the corner to hear these four young guys wailing on a Wayne Shorter song. When I say young, I mean none were older than 17 or 18. And as young as they were, they sounded good. A little heavy on the pyrotechnics, but still good. Then they went into a Sonny Rollins number. Again, I was rather impressed by these guys, and their grasping for the taller rungs. I hope to hear more of it.
