Late, great Kansas City jazz legend Charlie Parker would have turned 90 Sunday.  To celebrate his life Kansas City residents pretended to really care about jazz music for five minutes. Five minutes. |

Thousands of folks (the hipper KCitians) listen, learn and love the music every week (and every night most weekends). Not sure where you’re hanging out. But don’t diss those of us who spend WAY more than five minutes of at Jardines, the Blue Room, Chaz, the Majestic, the Phoenix, BB’s and Knuckleheads (yes, the blues count,too), the Foundation and the 10 other spots you can hear live jazz and blues every week.
Some folks think that it’s not a music scene unless there’s a concert at the Sprint Center or some all-day frolic at Sandstone or the Crossroads. Give me a beer, Bram and Beena’s place anytime over that noise.
