StLJN Saturday Video Showcase: Fall 2019 jazz preview, part three

Today's videos represent part three of StLJN's Fall 2019 jazz preview, presenting clips of live performances by bands and musicians who will be coming here between now and the end of the year. (You can see part one here, and part two here.)

Picking up in mid-October where last week's installment left off, today's first video features singer and actress Rachel Bay Jones, who will perform on Wednesday, October 16 and Thursday, October 17 at Jazz St. Louis as part of their series of co-productions with Cabaret Project of St. Louis.

Jones, who has starred on Broadway in Pippin and Dear Evan Hansen, is seen here performing "So Big, So Small" from the latter show in a video recorded in June, 2018 at The Cabaret in Indianapolis.

After the jump, you can see a video featuring guitarist Bob Lanzetti, who will perform on Thursday, October 17 at Pop's Blue Moon.

Lanzetti, best known as a member of the eclectic fusion band Snarky Puppy, is seen performing his own composition "Happy Stranger" in January 2015 at Atlantic Sound Studio in Brooklyn, NY.

That same weekend, guitarist Norman Brown will headline a bill on Saturday, October 19, at the Grandel Theatre. Brown will offer two separate performances that evening of his "Summer Storm" show, which also will feature music from saxophonist Euge Groove, singer Lindsay Webster, and St. Louis' own Coleman Hughes Project.

Brown can be seen in the next clip playing "Better Days Ahead" in 2018 at the Algarve Smooth Jazz Festival in Portugal, followed by a video of Euge Groove performing a full set in 2013 at the Aliante Casino Las Vegas.

Also on that same Saturday, October 19, funky instrumental quartet The New Mastersounds will return to perform at Atomic Cowboy Pavilion. They can be seen in the next video with singer Lamar Williams performing "Shake It" in May of this year at Paste Studios in NYC.

The following week, singer and pianist Freddy Cole will bring his quintet to town for shows running Wednesday, October 23 through Sunday, October 27 at Jazz St. Louis. The sixth video shows Cole's set, with his son Lionel handling the piano duties, from the beginning of this month at the Scranton Jazz Festival in Pennsylvania.

That same weekend, trumpeter Arturo Sandoval and singer Jane Monheit will be the featured performers at the annual "Friends of the Sheldon Benefit" on Saturday, October 26 at the Sheldon Concert Hall. 

The next-to-last video shows Sandoval's set from last week at the Silver Spring Jazz Festival in Silver Spring, MD, and the final clip depicts Monheit's mashup of "Love For Sale" and "That Girl" as recorded in March of this year at Dazzle in Denver, CO.

Look for part four of StLJN's Fall 2019 jazz preview next week in this space. You can see the rest of today's videos after the jump...
