Swing City
New series 1/3. In the first of threeprogrammes, Miles Kington visits the wide-open town that was, for nearly 30 years, the centre of a unique jazz style: Kansas City. Most of the jazz greats played and jammed there and some, like Count Basie and Jay McShann stayed, to help create a driving, riffing style of music that has continued to influence musicians all over the world. Today Kington visits the Jazz Archive at the University of Missouri to talk to its director, Chuck Haddix.
