In noting this weekend's musical highlights, I was remiss in not mentioning that this Saturday, April 19 is the first ever National Record Store Day - an event intended as a celebration of independent music stores, many of which are important outlets for jazz and creative music - and at least a couple of local retailers noted for their jazz selections are throwing parties for the occasion.
In Webster Groves, Euclid Records is featuring free live performances from a variety of musical genres all afternoon, including sets from world-music/Latin-jazz group Farshid Etniko at 1 p.m. and tenor saxophonist Dave Stone at 4 p.m.. The store's blog Lockwood and Summit also promises "free goodie bags chock full of CDs and 7" singles and other assorted record label gifts," a barbecue concession operated by the nearby Highway 61 Roadhouse, and DJ sets in between the live performances.
Meanwhile, over in University City, Vintage Vinyl will present free live rock and hip-hop performances plus DJ spins from a variety of local notables, include a half-hour jazz set from Don Wolff at 4:30 p.m..VV's Web site also says the store will be paying the sales tax for customers on all purchases made on Saturday, and they'll also be giving away free Pabst Blue Ribbon beers.
