Kansas City Jazz Orchestra: Singin' The Blues

Kansas City Jazz Orchestra: Singin' The Blues at Folly Theater

Let the blues ache. Let the big band swing. Kansas City Jazz Orchestra brings both sides of that invitation to the Folly Theater on April 17, 2027, with Brandon Hudspeth and friends joining Singin' the Blues.

For a listener who likes feeling in the music and a little lift in the rhythm, that is a Saturday worth planning. Blues can give a difficult feeling somewhere to go; swing gives you another kind of pleasure to get caught up in. Together, they make room for an evening that has heart without losing its sense of fun.

Hudspeth and friends make this a particular collaboration to anticipate. You are going to hear artists share a musical occasion, with the guests adding their personalities to Kansas City's own jazz orchestra. Come excited about one name or about the meeting of the two traditions, and let that curiosity be part of the enjoyment.

The program honors seventy years of B.B. King's debut album Singin' the Blues. For admirers of that legacy, the dedication gives the night a meaningful connection, while the actual performers make it an occasion in the present.

Make an evening of the music Kansas City loves. Find Singin' the Blues tickets for the Folly Theater and give April 17 to blues feeling, big-band swing and a collaboration worth hearing together.
