StLJN Saturday Video Showcase: A jazz film mini-festival (shutdown edition), part 2

This week, it's another installment in our mini-festival of jazz films that can be viewed for free online. (You can see last week's post with part one here.)

Today's edition features three films about pianists, starting up top with Music In The Key Of Oscar, a 1995 documentary about Oscar Peterson.

After the jump, you can see the film titled simply Earl "Fatha" Hines, filmed in 1975 to coincide with Hines' 70th birthday.

Next up, it's Mal: A Portrait Of Mal Waldron, a 1997 documentary about the late pianist who played with major jazz figures including Billie Holiday, Eric Dolphy, John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, and more.

That's followed by Ronnie Scott and All That Jazz, a documentary produced in 1989 to celebrate 30 years of London's long-running jazz club (which continues to operate today) and its founder and namesake.

The next-to-last film, Big Ben: Ben Webster in Denmark offers a look at Webster's life as an expatriate living in Europe in 1971.

The final video is The Breath Courses Through Us, a 2013 film about the free jazz group New York Art Quartet, with John Tchicai (saxophone), Roswell Rudd (trombone), Milford Graves (drums), and Reggie Workman (bass), recounting the group's origins and brief initial run in the mid-Sixties and their reunion 35 years later.
