Saxophone Colossus- have a drink or two before watching this... it is cerebral music and not meant for the weak.
Background briefing: The song is "Impressions", composed by the late 1960s genious jazz artist John Coltrane. First sax soloist is Michael Brecker, a giant of the instrument who died from cancer 2 years ago. Wiki on Mike Brecker. It's crazy music to some, in the way that Jimi Hendrix was considered crazy. But it is meant to address the fundamental search for truth, which is why it still has meaning after so many years.
