StLJN Saturday at the Movies:
Diana Krall's "Devil May Care," plus
Chris Botti and David Sanborn play "Flamenco Sketches"



The Diana Krall/Chris Botti comes to St. Louis' Fox Theatre next Wednesday, August 29, and so this seems an opportune time to showcase a couple of videos from two of the best-selling jazz artists around today.

The first clip features Krall performing a song that's become a concert staple for here, Bob Dorough's "Devil May Care." This version is from 2002, and also features guitarist Anthony Wilson, who's back working with Krall on her current tour.

Today's second video features Botti, and as a sneaky way of getting some explicitly St. Louis-related content into this post, it's his version of "Flamenco Sketches," best known, of course, as one of the tracks on Miles Davis' classic album Kind of Blue. Sitting in as Botti's special guest on this performance (and providing more local flavor) is St. Louis native David Sanborn, who toured with the trumpeter early last year.
