StLJN Saturday Video Showcase: More from Jazz St. Louis' "Season of Stream"

This week, let's go back into the video vault of the presenting organization Jazz St. Louis for a look at some of the most recent episodes of their "Season of Stream" series of online concerts, started earlier this year after live performances were shut down due to the pandemic. (There are four previous posts in the series: part 1, part 2, part 3 and part 4.)

First up, though, is a video that technically is not part of that series, a replay of JSL's "25th Anniversary (Virtual) Celebration" that took place online back on Friday, October 2. As the name suggests, it commemorates 25 years of existence for the organization, and features memories, tributes and pre-recorded performances from St. Louis musicians such as Peter Martin and Denise Thimes, plus some of the touring artists who have played the Bistro over the years, including Regina Carter, The Bad Plus, and Ann Hampton Callaway.

After the jump, you can see the most recent "Season of Stream" performance, featuring pianist Adam Maness' trio with bassist Bob DeBoo and drummer Montez Coleman. The video of their set was recorded on October 8 at the Bistro, and released this past Thursday.

Next up, it's saxophonist Ben Reece's Unity Quartet, recorded on September 29 and featuring Reece on tenor sax and flute, Rob Nugent on alto sax, Cody Henry on sousaphone, and Ron Sikes on drums.

That's followed by a set from bassist Bernard Terry. who made his debut as a leader at the Bistro when this video was recorded on September 22. Terry is joined by saxophonist Kendrick Smith, pianist Royce Martin, and drummer DeMarius Hicks.

The penultimate video features Be.Be & the Neosouls, led by vocalist Brianna Elise Brown, who's one of the Kranzberg Arts Foundation's "Music Artists in Residence" this year. Brown was joined for the set, recorded on September 14, by guitarist Connor Low, drummer Desiree Jones, bassist Joshua Huggins and pianist Luke Sailor.

Finally, today's sixth video spotlights saxophonist Carlos "Scooter" Brown, who recorded his set on September 11 with a band including trumpeter Brady Lewis, pianist Antonio Foster, bassist Bernard Terry, and drummer Everette Benton.
