KC Performs

November 26, 2020  |  Brad Austin  |  1 min read

Here are two more things to give thanks for on this day of feasting: Kansas City jazz and Union Station.

The Kansas City Jazz Orchestra is back on KC Performs with a ripping take on “Union Station.” Settle in and luxuriate in the finger-popping groove in the attached video.

To learn more about the jazz orchestra, go to KCJO.org. Also, here’s a link to more installments of KC Performs, our new Kansas City PBS program that offers a stage for performing artists affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

No doubt, we’ll all give thanks when Kansas City’s performing artists are back on stage in front of live audiences.

Until then, check out KC Performs.
