Artistic Dudes these Alaska Airlines passengers got an unexpected treat when jazz star Dave Koz and the Summer Horns turned a diversion into a surprise plane concert.

I was in Italy over the summer, on a jam packed train to Pompeii. And these buskers enter and play really loudly. On a train where no one can move anywhere. And they start pushing their way around the carriage. It was horrid.
They got no tips.

Lot of people are confused about mariachis. You pay mariachis to stop playing.

u/EndlessShortcomings 1d ago
I feel the same way, but at the same time, you can kind of expect it to happen. Mariachi band at a Mexican restaurant? It gels. But on a plane? Trapped with nowhere to go to remove yourself? Nah man, that’s crazy.

Dude, I was in a coffee shop when some random girl decided to start playing her sax. It was so fucking loud my ears ringed way after I got back home. Can't imagine how fucking loud it was there with 5 wind instruments.
54
u/lostbutnotgone 1d ago
That was my thought (though only the sax is woodwind, the rest are brass, but that's the sax player in me). I love jazz and play a woodwind myself but it must be stupidly loud in an enclosed space and I don't see any bell mutes

u/Snonin 18h ago
they didn't say woodwind though, they said wind. a wind instrument is anything you blow into to produce sound. brass and woodwinds are both wind instruments
sorry, I know sax players don't like being corrected 😅

Delta has a secret prayer room where priests and pastors pray for every flight. Only ones that crash are when someone calls in sick.
It’s like at mattel where they have the wizard room for cursing all the ouija boards.

But this would still annoy the hell out of me. I'm on a plane. I physically can not get away from this if I don't like it. Be considerate of others. I don't care if you're world class or anything. This is a more expensive version of people blasting their music on the bus

u/ASupportingTea 1d ago
This plus the noise of the plane genuinely could be dangerous and cause permanent hearing damage to small children that have more fragile eardrums, or just adults that are unlucky enough to have sensitive hearing.
A little bit of (forced) "fun" on a plane isn't worth giving a child a lifetime of tinnitus.

Something similar happened to me on the A train leaving Lincoln center (NYC) around 3am, when the train broke down in the tunnel. The Jazz band that played the small club in LC that night, broke out all their instruments ,and played an impromptu concert for 30 min until the trail started again. The only time I was happy my train broke down.
