StLJN Saturday at the Movies: Giving the drummers some...

This weekend's videos spotlight two of the top drummers in jazz, both of whom will be performing in St. Louis as part of Jazz at the Bistro's 2007-08 season.

First up is Roy Haynes, still kicking hard after more than 60 years in the music business and still inspiring players who are young enough to be his grandkids. This clip is from 2005, and shows Haynes and his working quartet of the time playing a tune called "Summer Night". Haynes and his current band will be in the Gateway City for a four-night run at the Bistro September 19-22.

Down below, we've got St. Louis' own Dave Weckl in a clip recorded earlier this year from the audience at the Keitele jazz festival in Finland. He's performing in a trio with guitarist Mike Stern and bassist Anthony Jackson, and this excerpt starts mid-tune to capture Weckl's solo. Stern and Weckl will revisit the trio format (with another St. Louisan, Tom Kennedy, in for Jackson) for their gig at the Bistro next March 12-15.
