"In Community" Jazz Storytelling with the American Jazz Museum

As part of our In Community series, Kemper Museum invites the American Jazz Museum to host Jazz Storytelling. Aimed at toddlers to early childhood learners, Jazz Storytelling is led by vocalist Lisa Henry, storyteller Brother John, drummer Mike Warren, and bassist Tyrone Clark.

With masterful skills, they bring an innovative performance for all to enjoy! Participants will be able to engage with Lucia Vidales’ artwork in the museum Atrium through music, storytelling, and sound.
