jazz in the most unlikely place

every evening at this food centre i frequent, when many of the other stalls have closed, soothing jazz music is dished out in generous portions to the late dinner crowd and uncles sipping their kopis, beers and stouts. there are no hi-fi speakers in view so i can't quiet pinpoint which stall the music's coming from, but who cares. the atmosphere is extraordinary for a food centre - cool and strangely peaceful; it's almost surreal.
