Kansas City Hustle

Kansas City Hustle is a solo album by pianist Jay McShann, recorded in 1978 and first released by the Canadian Sackville label as an LP before being reissued on the compilation CD Solos & Duets.

Reception
The Globe and Mail wrote that "McShann transcends the usual cliches of the music with a style that is subtle, controlled and elegant, yet he manages to retain the appropriate emotional edge."

AllMusic's Scott Yanow noted: "As usual, McShann drenches the songs he interprets with the blues, while always swinging; his basslines are always a joy."
