Comment:

Kansas City was a freewheeling frontier town where the fastest guns in jazz came from afar (like New York City slicker Count Basie) to try their hands against homegrown quick-draw kings, such as Charlie Parker and Ben Webster. Living or dying by their cutting, questing solos, the K.C. cats changed the jazz game from big band to bebop, changing the course of the music forever.
