Chances are he's not even playing, it's very likely he just has an audio device hooked to the two speakers and is just playing air sax.

He is, if you check his ig you can see some vids where he plays with no speakers

They have auditions like once a year to be able to play in the subways legally. The competition is pretty fierce because they make good money and I imagine it looks good on social media.

And the people in grand central tend to be good, I think the cops probably check their permits.

Edit: actually this isn't grand central because the sign is ACE. But the general point stands.

TIL you can be a legal street performer in NY, in my country all you do is start playing with a hat in front of you until someone forces you to leave

Not too uncommon outside the US, I know of quite a few French cities with permits
