"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
