StLJN Saturday at the Movies: Miles Davis and Gil Evans do the "New Rhumba"plus Thelonious Monk's "Blue Monk"

This week's video clips showcase a couple of vintage performances from two of the greatest jazz innovators of all time. The first clip is a Miles Davis performance of "New Rhumba" from a 1959 television appearance, featuring John Coltrane on tenor sax, Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and drummer Jimmy Cobb, plus Gil Evans and his Orchestra.

The second video is a performance of the Thelonious Monk classic "Blue Monk," filmed in 1966 at a concert in Oslo, Norway. The composer's distinctive piano stylings are supported on this occasion, as on many others, by Charlie Rouse on tenor sax, Ben Riley on drums and Larry Gales on bass.
