2009-01-17T15:58:06.198Z

At the end of a fairly phenomenal evening of music, Mr Alexander (keys) along with his compatriots Mr Paul Thompson (bass) and Mr James Johnson III (percussion) close out the session with a lovely and inspiring blues. Watch for the incredibly prolific embrochures of Dr Nelson Harrison, Reggie Watkins, Rick Matt, Chris Hemmingway, Matt Parker, Julio Monterrey and others - open to re edit this blurb if someone sends me some names - as they sit in on this wonderful night of music. Please to enjoy. This video was shot by Phat Man Dee on a Canon Powershot A 590 and then edited in Final Cut on her Mac.
As you can see, a Mon night at Ava Lounge in Pittsburgh, PA is a pretty special thing.

This glorious musical celebration the season was filmed at Pittsburgh Community Television in the North Side of Pittsburgh, PA. Herein we have such classics as "Gandhi Lives!" by Tommy Amoeba and "O Tannebaum/Havah Nagilla" as live jazz mash-up. Phat Man Dee's original take of Silent Night, it should be noted, was done at the express prompting of Bruce Krane, PCTV producer, Man Dee herself did not actually think it was at all appropriate for a community television holiday special and fundraiser. And apparently neither did the executives at the tv station, the phat chick mastication version of "Silent Night" was edited out of the piece that actually aired......and really who can blame them? They were nice enough to give us the copy and put it on the net..... they are raising $$ to keep this kind of television available to the people of Pittsburgh , PA to create.
Viva los television estudios publicos a Pittsburgh!
