The show features vocalists David Basse and Nedra Dixon; actors Pearl MacDonald and Pete Webber; and musicians Tyrone Clark on bass and Mike Warren on drums, along with the show's musical director, Joe Cartwright, on piano. Guest hosts will join the cast to perform and talk about the music of the featured artist of the week.

The weekly broadcasts of the show, live from the Mutual Musicians Foundation in Kansas City's 18th and Vine Historic District, begin on Saturday, July 4, with clarinetist Pete Fountain the featured artist and Lynn Zimmer the guest host. More information is available on KCUR's website.

I love listening to the BBC, but more quality, locally produced programming is always welcomed.

I happen to think this is a great idea.

There's nothing more depressing than grooving to the last few songs on Chuck's Fish Fry and then listening to the intro music to the BBC overnight.

Good call, KCUR and hopefully a nice local benefit as well.
