"A big juicy wedge of jazz history.
      . . . Lots of wonderful stories."
      -- Los Angeles Daily News  
      "Kansas City was a hub for Jazz bands that crisscrossed the country in
        the 1930s. . . . The interviews go beyond jazz into the infamous political
        machinery that made Kansas City a wide-open and corrupt town where jazz
        could flourish."
        -- Choice
      "A wealth of stories, a good measure of entertainment and a valuable
        stab at history -- not to mention some great pictures."
        -- The Kansas City Star

From the Back Cover:
The great bands of the Kansas City era drew on many styles to create a distinctive music that was among the finest expressions of swing and laid groundwork for modern jazz. Interviews and narrative combine in this intimate view of the development of an American music center from the mid-1920s through the late 1930s.
