Believe In: 2024 Night at The Museum

Since 1997, Kansas City’s American Jazz Museum has welcomed countless visitors, celebrating jazz’s profound influence on our daily experiences and the ongoing opportunity to delve deeper into ourselves and our connections through every artifact, program, and performance. We stand as a lasting emblem of the importance of preserving jazz’s history and heritage, as well as Kansas City’s indispensable contribution to its legacy.

To continue our efforts to pay homage to Kansas City’s distinctive riff-based and blues-infused sound through a blend of performances, exhibitions, educational initiatives, and research, we have curated two spectacular evenings in April to raise critical funds to continue our mission.

Join us for a late-April Sunday evening for:

– A cocktail reception in the museum’s atrium featuring music from the talented young people of the KC Jazz Academy. – Private small group docent tours through the AJM permanent exhibit and Changing Gallery. – Silent auction, raffle prizes, and exclusive Swing Shop items for purchase. – Fund-a-Need Live Auction. – Renowned local jazz performers in The Blue Room to end the evening. – Every event will feature the “KC Jazz Masters” Bobby Watson, Lisa Henry, Charles Williams and a Surprise Special Guest!- Enjoy culinary delights by Chef Shanita McAfee (winner of Food Network Cutthroat Kitchen) and The Prospect KC

Your support is instrumental in helping us preserve the rich legacy of Jazz, ensuring that its soulful rhythms continue to inspire and resonate for generations to come. Together, we can make a difference and contribute to the ongoing success of the American Jazz Museum.
