StLJN Saturday at the Movies: Hamiet Bluiett, Greg Osby provide saxophonic support for Charles Mingus, Jack DeJohnette

This week's video clips feature a couple of St. Louis saxophonists in supporting roles. The first clip is of the Charles Mingus Quartet, with Hamiet Bluiett on baritone saxophone along with the leader on bass, Dannie Richmond on drums, pianist Don Pullen and tenor saxophonist George Adams. It was recorded on July 28, 1974 at the Umbria Jazz Festival in Todi, Italy.

The second video showcases drummer Jack DeJohnette's Special Edition, with St. Louis native Greg Osby on alto sax, plus Gary Thomas, Lonnie Plaxico and Michael Cain. The composition is called "On Golden Beams," but alas, there was no other info as to the provenance of the clip.
