*KCUR reports on a fire that has temporarily closed Green Lady Lounge. The live music schedule at the adjacent venue Black Dolphin has expanded accordingly.
*From a press release: Kansas City jazz has a story worth celebrating, protecting, and continuing to grow. That story lives in our musicians, our neighborhoods, and in the spaces where people come together to experience the music. Today, we’re excited to share a new chapter in that story. Kansas City Jazz ALIVE, in partnership with Music Across Borders, is proud to help welcome 515 Music Hub, a new creative space dedicated to live music, collaboration, and community in the heart of Kansas City. Together, we are expanding access, supporting artists, and building connections that extend beyond our city, ensuring the Kansas City sound continues to thrive for generations to come.
