| | Jay McShann: Goin' to Kansas City - PopMatters Music Review |
| | McShann and band members sizzle on this one, so much so that the listener seriously begins to wonder if McShann is lying about his age. | | | McShann cut a record, his first hit, as a young man in the early '40s called "Confessin' the Blues" with a group that included a young Charlie Parker, one of the two progenitors of bebop (the other being Dizzy Gillespie). | | | Producer Holger Petersen also handles nicely the lengthy (19:51) bonus track interview with McShann at his home and at his piano, ultimately lending the album an archival aspect. |

| | NPR's Jazz Profiles: Jay McShann |
| | McShann's big band of the 1930s and '40s delivered the hard swinging music of Kansas City imbued with foot pattin' rhythms, boogie woogie beats, and the cryin' and shoutin' blues. | | | In 1941, with Walter Brown on vocals, the Jay McShann Orchestra recorded its biggest selling hits, including "Confessin' the Blues," "Hootie Blues," and "Vine Street Boogie," for Decca Records. | | | Today, Jay McShann is still going strong, playing and singing for audiences throughout the world in both solo concert appearances and with numerous ensembles. |

| | Jay McShann-Stony Plain Recording Co. Ltd. |
| | Stony Plain has still more of Jay McShann’s music in its vaults, and future releases will see a flow of small band tracks, solo tunes, and more duets with Johnny Johnson. | | | The music the label has already released, is — in Jay McShann’s own word — “cool.” So — most definitely — is Jay McShann himself...still one of the coolest musicians still making music of the past sound like it was invented today. | | | By 1940, Jay McShann had his own big band — and what a band it was. |

| | Jazz Artists Jay McShann |
| | McShann is well known for his latter-day blues singing and his compelling solo piano playing with an indefinable blend of blues, boogie, a little bit of Basie and Earl Hines. | | | Sackville Records have been responsible for keeping his recorded material available to a public that would otherwise not be aware of this exceptional talent. | | | In the mid 30's he moved to Kansas City and began to work with local groups and formed his own bands, one of which in 1938 included Charlie Parker. |

| | PBS - JAZZ A Film By Ken Burns: Selected Artist Biography - Jay McShann |
| | McShann is noted for his percussive piano playing, which draws on elements of the blues and boogie-woogie; he also sings the blues in a nasal style reminiscent of that of Brown. | | | Later he moved again to Kansas City (after 1950), performed in the Midwest, and from 1969 into the 1980s appeared at festivals in the USA and abroad; he often toured as the leader of a trio, which included as his sidemen Claude Williams and the drummer Paul Gunther. | | | He is the subject of Bart Becker's and Michael Farrell's film Hooties Blues (1978), and his performances figure prominently in the film The Last of the Blue Devils (1979). |
