All
the music contained in this show is related directly to Kansas
City and its musical heritage either because the songs were
written by artists from Kansas City and/or were performed by
these artists:
Big Joe Turner - Pete Johnson -
Bennie Moten - Jimmy Rushing Jimmy Witherspoon -
Joe Williams - Julia Lee - Kevin Mahogany and many more!
Big Joe Turner is the feature point of this
show. However, the music of all the other listed artists
appears in the show as well. The show uses a 45 song playbook,
which ranges from the R&B of “Shake Rattle and Roll,” “Flip Flop
and Fly” and “Honey Hush”…through the boogie woogie of “Roll ‘em
Pete” to the blues of “Cherry Red,” “Sweet Sixteen” and “Kansas
City."
Kevin
Mahogany's self-penned composition “KANSAS CITY BORN AND
BREED” sums up the theme of this show.
