The texting was worth 35% of there score. This is a first for a competitive jazz festival anywhere.<br /><br />One of our guitar students received a full ride to attend the Pat Metheny Guitar camp last summer.<br /><br />Good things happening in KCK! We are just scratching the surface. KCKCC is the place to be!!Jim Mairnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694480735393172006.post-65397600264192171992012-12-17T17:20:59.657-06:002012-12-17T17:20:59.657-06:00Thanks for your comment, Jim.

The first Thursday of each month (Oct,Nov,Dec,Feb,Mar,April)<br /><br />Free 60 minute jazz concert from noon to one. Complimentary good food and refreshments served. The first three concerts were filled to capacity and people stood outside listening. The room is set up with five couches and a fireplace....very intimate and up close and personal....essentially a living room concert held in a cabin. The musicians are paid $125 per person plus lunch and the you can hear a pin drop during the concerts. Standing ovations for our first thee groups. Everette Devan Quartet, Bram Wijnands Trio and Joe Cartwright Trio.<br /><br />Multiple ages, ethnicities, and a nice mix of students in attendance.<br /><br />These concerts will be broadcasted on the Wyandotte County Time Warner cable channel via the KCKCC TV station going out to 100,000 homes and will air as a sixty minute jazz concert show with "man on the street" interviews. These will broadcast once a week.<br /><br />We hope to expand this next year.Jim Mairnoreply@blogger.com
