"I love the soul that is your voice." Maya Angelou

For the past twenty years, David Basse has been at the forefront of the music scene in the legendary jazz capitol of Kansas City. Basse carries on a tradition started half a century ago by icons Charlie Parker, Count Basie and Jay McShann. He has played his special kind of Kansas City jazz at concerts, clubs and private parties throughout the world.

When the producers of A&E's television series "City Confidential" needed to explore the Kansas City Jazz scene for a new production, they contacted and filmed David Basse. In addition to City Confidential's exposé, Basse has appeared on Dr. Billy Taylor's CBS Sunday Morning, Weekend: All Things Considered with Scott Simon and Barbeque America with Rick Browne on PBS.

David Basse's City Light Orchestra has long been hailed as Kansas City's premier swingin' jazz ensemble. Since its inception in 1982, bandleader and songwriter, David Basse's deep resonant voice has been a signature of the Orchestra's sound.

A Swedish critic called him "The unbelievable combination of Mel Torme, Jon Hendricks, and Al Jarreau," but that leaves out other familiar elements in Basse's smoky voice: "The winking gris gris of Dr. John, the ecstasy of Ray Charles. Basse adds a unique twist to his phrasing that makes him more than the sum of those influences and forbearer." Pitch Magazine / Best Male Vocalist

In our nation's capitol David Basse was featured at "Wolf Trap and All That Jazz," and his band was part of the 1997 Inaugural Gala for President Bill Clinton. The title song of David's recording "Strike When Your Iron Is Hot", released in October 2000 was used by the Gore campaign and the Kansas City Chiefs to incite crowds.

Internationally, Basse has represented Kansas City at such diverse venues as Harrods in London, Palacio De Congressi in Lugano, Switzerland and by special invitation, at the prestigious Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong. He has excelled on the concert stage, performing at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Jazz Aspen-Snowmass, The Kansas City Blues & Jazz Festival, The Verizon-Playboy Jazz Series in Pasadena, and the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee.

David Basse has recorded with many of the greats of jazz including, Phil Woods, Bobby Watson, Les McCann, Larry Bunker and the Grammy nominated pianist Mike Melvoin, whom David has collaborated with since 1992. David also hosts the award winning Jazz Scene on Kansas Public Radio at kpr.ku.edu.

"One of the brightest stars in the Kansas City Jazz firmament" says Dr. Chuck Berg of JazzTimes Magazine. Jazz pianist Joe Cartwright has lived, performed and taught in the Kansas City area for the last twenty three years. He is a graduate of the UMKC Conservatory of Music. Cartwright currently leads his own duo, trio and quartet. Joe has performed on and produced numerous jazz recordings. His credits include work with internationally recognized jazz artists Eddie Harris, Sheila Jordan, Bill Watrous, Conte Condoli, Jeff Clayton, Rob McConnell, Carl Fontana, Red Holloway, John Clayton, Karrin Allyson, Tiger Okoshi, Claude "Fiddler" Williams, Richie Cole, Jimmy Witherspoon, Kevin Mahogany and Mel Torme. He has been a featured performer with the Kansas City Symphony and the Independence Symphony, and his trio was featured in performance at the 1992 World's Fair in Seville, Spain as representatives of Kansas City Jazz. Cartwright was a semi-finalist in the First Annual Thelonius Monk Jazz Competition in Washington D.C., a finalist in the Great American Jazz Piano Competition in Jacksonville, Florida, and a winner of the Missouri Music Teachers Classical Piano Competition. In the summer of 1997 Cartwright was invited to perform in Hong Kong as part of the change-over celebration. In the fall of 1998 he toured Africa as part of the USIA/ Kennedy Center Jazz Ambassador Touring Program. In the spring of 2000, Cartwright toured the Middle East, Africa, India and Southeast Asia as a USIA Jazz Ambassador. When not performing and giving clinics, Joe composes, arranges and teaches jazz piano and theory.
