StLJN Saturday Video Showcase: Still more livestreams from St. Louis...

This week, we're back to bringing you a selection of recent livestreams presented by St. Louis musicians and venues, starting up above with a set from guitarist Eric Slaughter, recorded on March 23 at Jazz St. Louis and released online this past week. Slaughter is joined by a band including Jason Swagler (alto sax, flute), Adaron “Pops” Jackson (keyboards), Jahmal Nichols (bass) and Montez Coleman (drums).

After the jump, you can see a set from singer Emily Wallace with pianist Adam Maness' trio, recorded March 31 at Jazz St. Louis. Along with Wallace and Maness, the musicians are Adam Hucke (vocals, trumpet), Bob DeBoo (bass), and Montez Coleman (drums).

That's followed by a set from singer Cheri Evans and band, recorded on April 10 at the "Open Air" tent outside The Grandel.

Next up, it's The 442s, in a set recorded on April 7 at The Sheldon. The group featues Adam Maness on keyboards and various other instruments, along with Shawn Weil (violin), Michael Casimir (viola), Bjorn Ranheim (cello), and Bob DeBoo (bass), along with guest musicians Peter Henderson (piano) and Brendan Fitzgerald (bass).

The fifth video is from the most recent installment of Jazz St. Louis' "Whitaker Jazz Speaks" series, and focuses on the impact of music from the year 1959 in shaping jazz for the next couple of decades. The program features a talk from author Ashley Kahn, followed by a set from a live band led by Bob DeBoo performing music from the four albums from 1959 given special attention in the program: Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue, Dave Brubeck’s Time Out, Charles Mingus’ Mingus Ah Um, and Ornette Coleman’s The Shape of Jazz to Come.

The final video documents a show from this past week by a student combo drawn from the North County Big Band, a group of high school students sponsored by The Sheldon and HEAL Center for the Arts. Directed by saxophonist and HEAL Center founder Harvey Lockhart, the young players performing the music of Duke Ellington are Tayari Chambers (alto sax), Walter Turner (tenor sax), Asia Brantley (trumpet), Laylah Williams (bass), and Jalen Jackson (drums).
