The Heart, The Soul... The Sauce!

June 2008 -

Famous musicians like Robert Cray, Fourplay, Jonathan Butler, George Duke, and Angie Stone had audiences on their feet all weekend paying tribute to an era of Kansas City that has been sung about in jazz songs for almost a century.

The music is the “Rhythm” to the Kansas City style “Ribs” that help put this town on the map. Food vendors and BBQ competitors cooked for hours to offer some of the best food that you could find for miles and miles…some might say anywhere!

Children had their own place made in the shade at the Target Kids Area with performances and interactive activities throughout the weekend. A highlight to this year’s event is an educational component for children that allowed them to experience the art and craft of jazz first hand from the perspective of some of Kansas City’s own local Jazz legends such as Bobby Watson.
