The American Jazz Museum is celebrating 25 years in Kansas City

The new exhibit, "Sound and Story: 25 Years at the American Jazz Museum," will include the four pillars of the American Jazz Museum’s mission: exhibition, performance, education and research.
With its roots in African American culture, jazz is in the DNA of America. Since its birth in the early 20th century, jazz history has paralleled U.S. history.

This fall, the American Jazz Museum presents “Sound & Story: 25 Years at the American Jazz Museum,” an exhibit of objects, artifacts and vinyl banners based on the museum's four pillars.
