Jazz @ Cookie's episodes now available on YouTube

Speaking of following up on previous stories, it looks like the footage shot for the prospective cable television series Jazz @ Cookie's has finally found a home. As StLJN reported here, here and here, the series was originally created by St. Louis jazz singer Valerie Tichacek and producer Owen Woodard and taped at the local club Cookie's Jazz and More with the idea of airing it on local cable, but after production was completed they ran short of funds to pay for airtime.

Now anyone with a broadband Internet connection can finally see the end result of their work and enjoy the featured interviews and performances from more than a dozen St. Louis jazz acts, as Jazz @ Cookie's has gotten its own channel on the popular online video service YouTube. One of the resulting segments, featuring the Hard Bop Heritage quintet, can be seen in the embedded video window above, and StLJN will probably be spotlighting a few more of the clips in the future, but you can see them all now by going here.
