If this embarrassing daily tragedy is allowed continue, actual taxpayers like me will move away from KC.
#KANSAS CITY JAZZ FEST FREE#
It would FINALLY be a good investment, instead of the way our tax money is currently being spent - a free lunch and stupid wardrobes for a huge bunch of fucking thieves. I bet they could turn this crime-ridden shithole, which is now actually a taxpayer-funded private club for do-nothings into an actual destination attended by White people with disposable incomes. Last time Jewish guys were in charge of Jazz, it totally flourished. I'd bet both my balls that within a year, things would actually be IN THE GREEN for the first time EVER.
#KANSAS CITY JAZZ FEST INSTALL#
Install a dozen Jewish lawyers that specialize in entertainment law in those same offices.
#KANSAS CITY JAZZ FEST FULL#
No more day parking lots full of Escalades. So, this would translate into firing EVERYBODY. I still believe the only way to make this money pit generate actual revenue for the city is FIRE every useless worker employed there. NONE! I guarantee every one of the friends and family who were hired to 'work' the event got paid. TKC, this topic gets me furious!! There is no excuse for the talent and the vendors not getting paid.

Messiah Festival Orchestra, Kansas City Symphony, Kansas City Percussion Quartet and the.

Give me one tenth of the funding that has been thrown down the black hole of the district and I will turn it into the most popular jazz district since the Pendergast era. Experience the legends of Kansas City Jazz like never before. Jim Mair - Kansas City saxophonist, educator, and jazz influencer. Brad Gregory: The Jazz Canadian and nicest guy in the world 01:25:31. Anything is better than letting it slowly go to ruin, bring with it all the money that was spent to revamp it. John Stafford - KCKCC Vocal Director, jazz to BBQ and building a legacy 01:13:46. What the f*uck is a new, beautiful, theater doing sitting empty 360 nights a year? DO SOMETHING to bring in more people.show jazz movies.have jam sessions. Only a handful of engagements throughout the year. The district is at it's worst now more than ever. There is an unwritten rule at 18th and Vine that jazz is a 'black' thing - whitey's money is welcome, yes, but whitey's input is not when it comes to running any business there. She is exponentially worse than her predecessors. Cheetos (whatever you call her) was someone who was supposed to turn around the district into a vital place. The level of gross incompetence at 18th and Vine is truly mind-bending. It went to payroll the inept, loser friends and family from those who are entrusted with the funds for the purpose of 'working' the events. The festival is a collaboration between the American Jazz Museum and Metropolitan Community College-Penn Valley Campus.^ Yes. Many of the directors and students visit the American Jazz Museum and eat barbecue either before or after participating in the festival, and we know that the 18th and Vine Jazz Festival has introduced hundreds of young musicians to all that Kansas City’s Historic Jazz District has to offer.” “The festival provides a rare opportunity for band directors and students to perform on the legendary Gem Theater stage–a location that is steeped in jazz history. “After a two-year break, we are delighted that the 18th and Vine Jazz Festival is once again taking place,” said Clarence Smith, festival director. Following their performance, each band spends 30 minutes in a clinic with a professional jazz musician. This year, more than 900 students representing 43 middle and high schools from Kansas and Missouri will perform in non-competitive jazz ensembles for a panel of judges, receiving ratings and feedback. Īlthough the festival started 20 years ago, this will be the 18th year after the two-year break due to the pandemic. The jazz festival is an annual three-day event for middle school and high school jazz ensembles, scheduled for 8 a.m. After a two-year break during the pandemic, the 18 th and Vine Jazz Festival is returning to the Gem Theater and American Jazz Museum in Kansas City’s 18 th and Vine Historic Jazz District.
