Kansas City, along with New Orleans, Chicago in New York are one of the four major cradles where Kansas City, along with New Orleans, Chicago and New York, is one of the four cradles where America's only indigenous music jazz, developed before becoming renowned throughout the world. It was Kansas City that Local 6 27 1 of a handful of black musician unions across the nation, was formed in 1917 facilitating the dynamic growth of the style of jazz and that would have far reaching influence on the evolution of music in America. Kansas City's history synonymous with jazz. The two cannot be separated. During the 19 twenties and thirties, with boss Tom Panda grasped at the helm of the city's corrupt political machine, Kansas City was a wide open town, and by the end of byproduct was a thriving nightlife. The environment was perfect for the growth of the big man's. Like many Moten Band, the legendary Count Basie big band Harlan Leonard and the Andy Kirk Band, infectious music reverberated in the clubs and all over the city. The old ways of segregation were being challenged all across the country, and the music reflected that change black people in America were conscious of the change. And although many embrace the need for the end of segregation, there were utterings of what would happen to the local 6 27 if there were to be a merger with White and Black Communion. After the merger, the leadership began a campaign in the late seventies that successfully saved the structure and began a process of saving, preserving the legacy with the building now a historical landmark. And the leadership began, a process of turning the hall into a social fraternal organization called themselves the Mutual Musicians Foundation, and a new era had begun. The Mutual Musicians Foundation is steeped in jazz history and proudly continues to nourish a new generation of jazz masters. And, of course, the foundation continues the late night tradition of jamming into the wee hours of the morning. After 100 years of development, jazz lovers from around the world gather at the Mutual Musicians Foundation to remember The Times honor the music and its architect. It said that the spirits of the greats who came through these doors whisper in the years of the living and guide them through the late night sessions. and remind all that they are still jamming.
