A painstakingly authentic recreation of the 1930 jazz scene in Kansas City from Kansas City native and film director Robert Altman.

We may never be able to invent a time machine, but Altman does the next best thing.

Personnel:

Joshua Redman as Lester Young, tenor sax
Craig Handy as Coleman Hawkins, tenor sax
James Carter as Ben Webster, tenor sax
Dadid Murray, tenor sax
Jesse Davis, alto sax
David "Fathead" Newman Jr., alto sax
Don Byron, clarinet/baritone sax
Olu Dara, cornet
Nicholas Payton, trumpet
James Zollar, trumpet
Curtis Fowlkes, trombone
Clark Gayton, trombone
Victor Lewis as Joe Jones, drums
Geri Allen as Mary Lou Williams, piano
Cyrus Chestnut as Count Basie, piano
Ron Carter, bass
Christian McBride, bass
Tyron Clarke, bass
Russell Malone, guitar
Mark Whitefield, guitar
Kevin Mahogany, vocal

That's how we grow.

Thanks!
