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. ~Hank Schwab
