StLJN Saturday at the Movies:
Red Holloway plays "Now's The Time"
plus Euge Groove's "Chillaxin"



This week's videos are all about the tenor, as we showcase clips from two saxophonists who will be performing in St. Louis this summer.

On top, it's the venerable Red Holloway, working out on the Charlie Parker classic "Now's The Time" in a performance recorded back in 1995. Holloway is an old-school player who excels at blues and bebop, and this clip offers a nice taste of both. St. Louis listeners will have a chance to hear him in person when he plays at Jazz at the Bistro on Friday, July 13 and Saturday, July 14.

Down below, we have a clip of another tenor man from a completely different generation and stylistic background, smooth jazz saxophonist Euge Groove. In this video, date unknown, he plays a tune called "Chillaxin". Groove will make a return visit to St. Louis later this month, performing at Finale Music and Dining on Wednesday, June 20.
