StLJN Saturday at the Movies: Kirk and "Peanuts" Whalum play Miles, and a Grant Green excerpt

The first of our two videos this week features longtime St. Louis favorite Hugh "Peanuts" Whalum sitting down for a little duet with his nephew Kirk Whalum. And, continuing the local connection, the song they're playing is Miles Davis' composition "Four." This is a recent clip released by Rendezvous Music, presumably to help promote Peanuts' signing to the label. And they're not stopping there - they've even made a MySpace page for him now.

The second video shows St. Louis native Grant Green in an excerpt from what seems to be some sort of guitar summit performance also featuring Kenny Burrell and Barney Kessell. There weren't a whole lot of details posted with this clip, but since there's not much footage of Green easily available, I thought it worth sharing. If you know anything about the date or origins of the footage, please share your info in the comments.
