At 11:00 KC based musician David Basse shares details about his new album, The War Within. For decades, David Basse has been at the forefront of the music scene in Kansas City. A jazz drummer and vocalist since the 1970s, David’s singing has been compared to Mel Tormé, Jon Hendricks and Al Jarreau. David and his band, The City Light Orchestra, have been featured on “Wolf Trap and All That Jazz” and played at the 1997 Inaugural Gala for President Clinton. David came to radio in 1999, stepping behind the microphone for 90.1 FM KKFI – Kansas City Community Radio. In 2001 David became host of “The Jazz Scene” for Kansas Public Radio, winning a Kansas Association of Broadcasters award. This led to the nationally-syndicated radio show “Jazz with David Basse”, broadcast over 50 stations including KKFI, where David curates and hosts 15 hours of jazz every week, offering up “the depth and breadth of jazz” along with snippets of interviews with artists, anecdotes and insights from his decades-long experience in the world of jazz. In addition, David shares his deep knowledge of jazz as an instructor at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Swing University. More info at http://www.davidbasse.com
