There is a collection on Capitol called Kansas City Blues that I have and love that has 16 of Mc Shann's tracks on it along with Tommy Douglas and Walter Brown. Great stuff!
Dad F: I am with you on Brian Setzer. To think that I guy who had a career and fame already would go back and take music composition lesson for two years so that he could do the big band stuff just shows how dedicated he is.
