Review of Jay McShann's "Goin' to Kansas City"

Great production- how can you lose with such fun music and a fabulous interview subject like Jay McShann? Steven Rosenfeld has produced five short sound portraits that can be aired as one whole mini-doc or five individual drop-ins for news magazines or during music shows. I could listen to this music all day. The recordings are crystal clear and clean as Jay McShann reminisces over his long and varied career. Segment #3 with Maria Muldaur is a kick and appropriately sensual. And I loved #5, the official story of how Charlie Parker got his nickname. Rosenfeld says he has more than 350 of these music profiles on his website so seems like there's more than enough for any station programmer to start thinking about making use of drop-ins during the day...
