When Legends Meet |

On June 21, photographer Evie Quarles was in the right place at
the right time for this classic freeze frame at the Blue Room.
The song was "I Believe," and the duo consisted of veteran
singer and entertainer Myra Taylor and baseball legend/longtime
Taylor friend Buck O'Neil. It was one of those memorable
had-to-be-there moments. |

George Robinson leads the band at Harling's, one of 22
clubs on the 2002 Jazz Lover's Pub Crawl. It was a picture-perfect
summer evening with a wide variety of KC sounds and plenty of
happy crawlers. (Photo by Jim Wright)

Good Luck, Todd! |

Portland's gain is Kansas
City's loss. KC-based since '89, drummer Todd Strait,
pictured above with fellow PBT mates Bob Bowman (left)
and Paul Smith (center), is planting new roots out west.
Todd tells us he will be back from time to time (see "Correspondence"),
but we're sure it won't be nearly enough. Best wishes from JAM
and the KC Jazz Ambassadors to a worldclass musician and prince
of a guy. (photo:
