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

Today's post is part four of StLJN's Fall 2019 jazz preview, featuring videos of jazz and creative musicians who will be coming to St. Louis to perform between now and the end of the year. (You can see part one here, part two here, and part three here.)

Resuming the chronology of shows where last week's installment left off, the first video up above features the funk and fusion quartet TAUK, who will be returning here to perform on Wednesday, October 30 at the Old Rock House. The video shows a complete set from a show in April of this year at Concord Music Hall in Chicago, IL.

After the jump, you can see a video featuring vibraphonist Marco Pacassoni, who will perform in a free concert presented by the Jazz at Holmes series on Thursday, October 31 at Holmes Lounge in Ridgley Hall on the Washington University campus. The clip shows Pacassoni performing his original composition "Freedom" in 2017 with his quartet, which includes Enzo Bocciero (piano), Lorenzo De Angeli (bass), and Matteo Pantaleoni (drums).

That same week, bassist John Clayton, saxophonist Jeff Coffin, and drummer Matt Wilson will be in town doing educational residencies for Jazz St. Louis, culminating in group performances on Friday, November 1 and Saturday, November 2 at the Bistro.

You can see Clayton in the second video after the jump, which shows him performing "Blue Monk" with fellow bassist Thomas Pol and the JazzArt Orchestra in November 2015 at the Odeon de Spiegel Theater in Schouwburg, Netherlands.

Coffin is up next, playing a duet with cellist Helen Gillet in May 2019 at Sidebar NOLA in New Orleans, followed by Wilson playing a drum solo along with a recording of poet Carl Sandburg in September 2017 at the Jazz Standard in NYC.

The following week, violinist Regina Carter, this time accompanied by pianist Xavier Davis, will return for performances starting Wednesday, November 6 through Sunday, November 10 at Jazz St. Louis.

Carter can be seen playing "Strung Out" in a duet with bassist Bob Hurst, recorded last year at the Detroit Jazz Festival for NPR's "Jazz Night in America," followed by Davis and his trio performing "The Dance Of Life" in May 2018 at the Duende Jazz Bar in Thessaloniki, Greece.

The final video today features Mwenso and the Shakes, who will be bringing their show "Harlem 100" to the Sheldon Concert Hall on Saturday, November 9. The video shows their complete set recorded in August 2019 at the Erie Blues and Jazz Festival in Erie, PA.

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