Jazz music is filling Kansas City Kansas Community College later this month as the college will be the host to the annual Jazz Cabaret.
The Jazz Cabaret is at 6 p.m. April 21 in Upper Jewell on the KCKCC main campus, 7250 State Ave. Tickets are $20 for the public and $15 for students, children over 5 years old and seniors 60 and over.
Music during the Jazz Cabaret will be provided by the KCKCC Jazz Combo, Vocal Jazz Ensembles and Student Jazz soloists. In addition, it will feature a catered dinner by Wyandotte BBQ, complimentary drinks and a silent auction. Boulevard Brewing Co. is providing the beer and wine will be served as well. The event is a fundraiser for Music Department student travel.
The theme for this year’s Jazz Cabaret is Soul Train. Guests are encouraged to wear clothing from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Music will feature jazz arrangements of pop tunes from the last 40 years.
“The music performed at this event will be a fusion of jazz standards from the Great American Songbook and popular music classics from artists such as Michael Jackson, The Beatles and more,” said John Stafford, director of choral activities at KCKCC. “There will also be a silent auction of artwork by Janet Mason and other items from corporations in the Kansas City metropolitan area.”
