Notes from the American Jazz Museum

American Jazz Museum, Adam Tervort

Kansas City didn't just play jazz. It reinvented it. The American Jazz Museum sits at the corner of that history — 18th & Vine — and Notes is how we keep the conversation going. Performances, stories, news, and the culture that connects it all.
