  1. This doesn't represent all of Kansas City Jazz.

    Went out of his way to spotlight some people with multiple mentions.

    Not including Kevin Mahogany is understandable.
    He's become an embarrassment.

    Not including local Jazzers like Mike Pagan, Mark Lowrey, Max Groove, Scotty McBee, Max Berry, James Albright, Paul Roberts, Rod Fleeman, Paul Evans, scores of other white KC pianists, guitarists and reed guys....All Jazz performers....kinda brutal.

  2. ^^^ Great mentions. I think the filmmaker did a good job but I like your list.
