Confirmation: Weekly News & Notes
*Angela Hagenbach chats with Joe Klopus about her new album.
*KCJazzLark published a scathing editorial titled "Fairness Folly". His stern lecture makes Plastic Sax seem like a comparative pushover.
*James Hart notes the 29th anniversary of the murder of jazz musician Steve Harvey.
*Jason Harper begins a blindfold test on Pandora's Nolan Gasser with vintage Jay McShann.
*Kansas City is represented several times on The Telegraph's new list of the 100 Best Jazz Recordings.
*Sue Vicory has amassed quite a collection of recent and vintage photos of Kansas City jazz and blues musicians at the Facebook account for her forthcoming documentary.
*Steve Penn notes that Lonnie McFadden is in a film project.
*The Scott Joplin Ragtime Festival hits Sedalia, Missouri, June 2-6, 2010.
*I'm loving my Kansas City Jazz Twitter feed. For those who prefer a version that doesn't include Miles Bonny's incessant stream-of-consciousness postings, I recommend KC Jazz Lark's KC Jazz list.

Nothing wrong with KC Jazz Larks analysis. Not harsh either. Its the truth. Its time to stop sugar coating things. Political correctness is wrong. I think as a nation we are beyond that.
