| QUOTE |
| The Groove Note Records team of Joe Harley (producer), Mike Ross (engineer) and Ying Tan (executive producer) recently spent several days in Kansas City to record a dozen tunes with the legendary Kansas City bluesman Jay McShann. The new album, which is called 'What A Wonderful World', was recorded over three days at the studios of Airborne Audio in Overland Park and featured several ace Kansas City musicians including Alaadeen Ahmad (tenorsax) and Sonny Kenner (guitar). For a full listing of musicians and credits please see below. Jay was in excellent form duing the sessions and delivered memorably strong performances of classics like Gee Baby Ain't I Good To You, Blue Monday, Piney Brown Blues, Rain Is Such A Lonesome Sound, as well as some other McShann originals. Jay also covered a couple of standards including a brilliant and moving rendition of What A Wonderful World and a great instrumental version of Land Of Dreams. The album was recorded live direct to 2-track and analog mastered by Bernie Grundman in Hollywood to produce an album of true audiophile quality sound. |
