StLJN Saturday at the Movies: John Scofield does "Cissy Strut," plus Louis Armstrong's "Basin Street Blues"

Both of this week's featured videos tie in to shows that will be happening in St. Louis next week. The first clip shows guitarist John Scofield, who will be performing at Jazz at the Bistro from Wednesday through Saturday. He'll be playing in a trio setting next week, but this clip shows him in a quartet with Dennis Chambers on drums, Jim Beard on keyboards and Gary Grainger on bass, working out on a version of the Meters' funk classic "Cissy Strut".

Down under, the second video shows the great Louis Armstrong, who will be the subject of a tribute concert on Tuesday morning at the Sheldon Concert Hall as part of their "Coffee Concerts' series. Trumpeter Bob Ceccarini and pianist Pat Joyce will play a number of favorite tunes associated with Armstrong, maybe even including the one shown here, the old New Orleans standard "Basin Street Blues". This version was filmed in 1959 in Germany.
