Listen "New McKinney's Cotton Pickers"
Episode Synopsis
An early (1970's) revival band of a group from almost fifty years earlier. The original MKCP was a crack band from Detroit that was guided by Don Redman and then later Benny Carter, developing a terrific repertoire of hot jazz. Singer Dave Wilborn (who played banjo as well as sang with the original group) fronted the NMKCP, which was directed by clarinet and saxophone player David Hutson. Local Detroit and area musicians like Paul Klinger, Tom Saunders, Al Winters, Ted Buckner, Ernest Rogers and Tate Houston provide excellent solos on tunes associated with the original band as well as some others done in the same style.
