"This is the companion CD of "Kansas City: A Robert Altman Film - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" and contains some extra pieces, some of which appear in Altman's movies "Jazz '34" and "Kansas City". Hence what I have written in the review of the other CD fully applies.However this CD is not as compelling and, unless one has special reasons (say, a personal preferences for a piece) it should not be bought without the first one. The interpretations and the pieces are not as great, in fact some are not included in the movie "Jazz '34". You may say it contains the "alternate" or "rejected" selections."
Hot, swingin' jazz!

"All due respect, the previous reviewer *must* have gotten a bad copy of this recording. The compositions, the production values, the musicianship and raw, powerful chops of every single player on this CD make it an exhilirating must-have!"
LOVED THE SOUNDTRACK CD-THIS WAS BETTER

"I REVIEWED THE MOVIE SOUNDTRACK AND LISTED IT AS GREAT-THIS CD, WHICH WAS SAID TO BE JUST "EXTRA" TUNES THAT JUST DIDN'T HAVE ROOM ON THE MOVIE SOUNDTRACK, IN MY VIEW IS BETTER THAN THE MOVIE SOUNDTRACK."
