On his upcoming compilation CD, the former Prez will leave
the sax playing to David Sanborn, John Coltrane and other experts
David Sanborn's version of "Harlem Nocturne" and Miles Davis' rendition of "My Funny Valentine" are among the songs selected by former President Bill Clinton for inclusion on a CD compilation of his personal favorites...The Festival Of New Trumpet Music, dedicated in part to the memory of St. Louis trumpet great Lester Bowie, continues throughout August in New York City, and The Villager newspaper has an article that includes comments about Bowie from former St. Louisan Baikida Carroll...Clayton club Finale hosts a media luncheon - hmm, maybe my invitation got lost in the mail? - to confirm their lineup for the fall. I say "confirm" rather than "announce" because regular readers of this site will have already learned about the club's incoming touring acts here and here...(Maybe their publicist figures that since I can read Pollstar, I don't need any additional help. But - and I'm speaking purely hypothetically now, mind you - if I were running a newish club that was competing against a well-established venue like Jazz at the Bistro, one that was bringing in talent that has played at Jazz at the Bistro in the past - why, I'd want to do at least as good a job of reaching out to the local press, all of them, as Jazz at the Bistro. But hey, maybe that's just me.)...Anyway, the club also announced return dates for local acts including Erin Bode, the Bosman Twins and a Frank Sinatra tribute featuring vocalist Tom Heitman, all of which will be added to the St. Louis Jazz Notes calendar in short order.
