Video became an important part of Showell’s creative process and, in turn, media is a perfect way to tell his story. A promotional video produced in the early 2000’s showcases his work, set to Autumn Leaves, from the album Somethin’ Else, featuring Cannonball Adderly, Miles Davis, Hank Jones, Sam Jones, and Art Blakey. Jazz was Showell’s fuel.
