Our interview with trumpeter, tap dancer, singer, and entertainer, Lonnie McFadden. We talk about the deep jazz history of Kansas City, his years on the road, his mentorship by his father Jimmy McFadden (a professional tap dancer from the big band era), his practice regimen, the deep connection between tap dance and jazz music, his new nightclub, and the responsibility of an artist to their audience.
