Kansas City Jazz From Ragtime to Bebop--A

There were four major galaxies in the early jazz universe, and three of them-New Orleans, Chicago, and New York-have been well documented in print. But there has never been a serious history of the fourth, Kansas City, until now.

Frank Driggs is a recognized authority on Kansas City jazz. A former record executive with both Columbia and RCA Victor Records, he now runs the premiere agency for jazz photographs and has co-authored a pictorial history of classic jazz. Chuck Haddix is the Director of the Marr Sound Archives at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. A native of Kansas City, he hosts a weekend radio program on KCUR FM called "Fish Fry." His writing has appeared in Down Beat and Living Blues Magazine.
