StLJN Saturday at the Movies:World Saxophone Quartet in Lovejoy, plus the Greg Osby 4 live in Philadelphia

This week, we've got two more videos featuring saxophonists with St. Louis connections, plus the chance for you, the reader, to play "Name That Tune."

The first clip is from October, 2006, when the World Saxophone Quartet were in St. Louis to play a four-night stand at Jazz at the Bistro. While in town, they also took part in one of Jazz St. Louis educational programs, heading over to Lovejoy, IL - the hometown of WSQ baritone saxophonist Hamiet Bluiett - to perform for and talk with student at Lovejoy High School, and we see one number from that performance here. For this gig, the WSQ lineup consisted of mainstays Bluiett and Oliver Lake (alto sax), plus supersub James Carter on tenor sax, and Greg Osby, another St. Louis native, filling the spot originated by alto saxophonist Julius Hemphill.

As for the composition, I know I've heard the WSQ play this before, either live or on record, but the name escapes me. Perhaps one of you astute readers who recognizes the tune can set me straight in the comments.

Today's second video features Osby again, this time leading his own band, the Greg Osby 4, in a recent gig at the Philadelphia club Zanzibar Blue. The clip is a series of excerpts, with a couple of jarring edits and some titles that keep popping up every 60 seconds or so, but there's some nice playing by Osby, Jangeun Bae on piano and Damion Reid on drums. Bassist Matt Parrish rounds out the group, though he's a bit hard to hear on this recording. Again, there was no indication on the clip as to the name of the composition(s), so if you know what they're playing, please share that knowledge with the world in comments.
