About this title

Synopsis:

From the twenties through the forties, Kansas City was the jazz city, home of Lester Young, Benny Moten, Jack Teagarden, Andy Kirk, Count Basie, Jay McShann, Ben Webster, Mary Lou Williams, and Charlie Parker, to name a few. Jazz Style in Kansas City and the Southwest is the essential account of the evolution of the Kansas City style, from its ragtime roots to the birth of bebop.
