CD Reviews

Not second-best

Hank Schwab | Indianapolis, IN USA | 08/12/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Jay McShann typically is lumped in the "other" category of Kansas City big bands, after Basie. True, no one could keep up with Basie's roster of superstars, and Basie's rhythm section was innovative, but McShann made up for all that with a grittier, earthier version of the blues. This whole collection swings and rocks in a good, low-down way. Another winner from Proper."

Kansas city swinging at it's best

"Never mind the fact that Jay introduced the jazz world to Charlie Parker. His band rocked! After Basie,nobody swung like McShann. this 2 dis set covers the big band sides and the later 40's small band jump blues sides. Anything by this man is worth listening to. Another great disc by the Proper label, who release wonderful compilations with informative booklets at a bargain price. Highly recommended."
