While this week's videos both have a St. Louis connection, both are something a little different than the usual live performance clips featured here. First up is the music video for "All That You Give," the 2002 collaboration between the Cinematic Orchestra and St. Louis singer Fontella Bass. The song was a fair-sized hit in the UK and Europe, and five years later, the group is releasing a new CD, once again featuring Bass' vocals.
The second video clip is called "Cowtown Riff," and it's from an experimental student documentary featuring saxophonist Bobby Watson, the former Jazz Messenger who teaches at the Conservatory of Music at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Watson will be in St. Louis in April for the Greater St. Louis Jazz Festival, and in this clip, he talks about jazz in Kansas City.
