Jazz at "The Table": On the Air with Guido Sinclair (2019 DVD)
A private pressing of DVDs for musicians and friends of Guido Sinclair and Nature's Table; available to the public through libraries of CU.*
This three part series serves as an introduction to the vast trove of footage captured at "The Table" by Guido's friend and student, Knut Bauer (c. 1986), after whom the song "Knute's Tune," from the 2017 Hologroove LP "O Utopia," was named.
Sinclair Greenwell Jr. (December 1935 - July 7, 1992) was an American jazz alto saxophonist. He was also known as Guido Sinclair, Sonny Harrison, and Junnie. He performed in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Champaign-Urbana, Illinois...
He performed frequently at Nature's Table.
"...it wasn't until [two-time 'Chicagoan of the Year' Ernest Dawkins] heard the alto sax of Guido Sinclair that he knew this was the instrument he wanted to play."

Happy Blues Orchestra - Knute's Tune (Single)
The hologram record, etched by Tristan Duke, "was mastered by Jonathon Pines at Private Studios in Urbana and includes [the] arrangement of 'Knute's Tune,' a jazz composition by the late Guido Sinclair, a local legend on the jazz scene,"** as The News Gazette put it—a recording which was "very new and special,"*** according to Kert Semm of Recent Music Heroes.
