David Basse & The City Light Orchestra - Kansas City Live (2007)

David Basse (vocals, drums, percussion), Gerald Dunn (saxophone), Pat Morrisey (trumpet, background vocals), Tim Perryman (trombone), Joe Cartwright (piano), Ricky Anderson (bass).

The City Light Orchestra has long been Kansas City's premier jazz and blues ensemble. Releasing their first recording Raised Spirits to a packed house at KC's Folly Theater, the group then hit the road and appeared at the Improv in Los Angeles, New York's Hanratty's, Santa Fe's Club West and Antoine's in Austin. Gary Giddins called David Basse and the City Light Orchestra 'one of the best swing bands to come out of Kansas City since Jay McShann's.' On Kansas City Live, trumpeter Pat Morrissey is a driving force in the band and coproduced this swinging CD.
