5 out of 5 stars blues fountain of youth.......2005-07-23

This man is amazing! His career has lasted over 60 years and he still puts out quality recordings. His rolling piano and bluesy vocals are accompanied by Duke Robillard, who is quite at home with this style of music. A wonderful recording by a wonderful musician backed up by totally sympathetic band.

4 out of 5 stars "Kansas City, here I come...".......2006-02-27

George Harrison once sang, "It's all up to what you value", and in the case of the previous review by the New York "Beatlemaniac", there's much more to consider here than just the list price. The Beatles' 17 September Kansas City concert is unique on their 1964 North American tour for the amount they were offered to play - $150,000 - at the time the largest fee ever paid for a single performance. Writing the check was Kansas City Athletics baseball owner Charles O. Finley. Though 20,280 fans attended the concert at the Kansas City Municipal Stadium, Finley lost money, having needed sales of 28,000 tickets to break even.

Prior to the show, the Beatles gave a press conference on the top floor of the Muehlebach Hotel, presented here in its entirety, running just under 25 minutes. Sound quality is very good, perhaps a little loud at times when a Beatle gets too close to his mike. While the Kansas City press ask all the predictable questions, including four devoted to their hair, the Beatles' banter amongst themselves and with their audience is light-hearted, and highlights abound with John in especially fine form.

Asked to comment on how his wife Cynthia feels about having the group's female fans "screaming and running after (him)", John states, "She knows they never catch me".

"With all the girls chasing you all over the world," asks another reporter, "who's the most exciting woman you've met?" Without missing a beat, Lennon declares, "Ringo's mother was pretty hot."

A 32-page full color booklet features an informative essay on the Kansas City show by Mark Naboshek, illustrated with many previously unseen photos from the press conference and the concert, along with reproductions of concert-related correspondence, newspaper articles and tickets. The packaging is quite elaborate, a 7" square gatefold picture sleeve that once upon a time would have housed an extended play single. Here, it showcases a CD resembling one of Capitol Records' green swirl Star Line singles, a nice touch.

Producer Joseph A. Tunzi has assembled one of the handsomest packages to date to present a Beatles press conference. It's a shame the actual concert isn't included as its certainly worthy of it. (For some reason, Amazon's track listing for this release provides the first four songs the Beatles performed that night. Just for the record, there is no music on this disc. In addition, this CD is not "enhanced" with any data tracks for DVD/CD-ROM players.)

One hopes this isn't the last Beatles press conference JAT Records offers. "Goin' To Kansas City" has raised the bar on non-official Beatles recording releases. Is the price "out of line"? That's up to you to decide. Though with a limited run of only 2,000 copies, I wouldn't recommend taking too long to get your own.

$30 for a spoken word cd? $30 for a cd of a press conference? This is way out of line!

5 out of 5 stars Jimmy and Jay doing it Kansas City style!.......2005-07-08

This is right up there with Big Joe Turner's "boss of the blues" for best album of Kansas City blues. Wonderful, relaxed KC swing with Jimmy in fine form and Jay McShann's fine support. They revisit some of Jay's early 40's big band sides like "jumping the blues", and some other standards like the Andy Kirk hit,"Until the real thing comes along". Jimmy and Jay were like Rushing and Basie, an unbeatable combination.
