KC Jazz Orchestra

Celebrating Kansas City's jazz tradition.

[Great Jazz Albums @GreatJazzAlbums]

Today’s Great Jazz Album is “The Soul Society” by Sam Jones, released by Riverside Records in 1960.

[KC Jazz Orchestra @KCJazzOrch]

Tonight’s performance is a living testament to KC’s heritage.

Not only is the #KansasCity Jazz Orchestra's swinging big band carrying on the legacy, but our featured artists embody–figuratively & literally–KC’s lineage.
