Such a disappointment. Some interesting art and things on the walls, but so many broken interactive exhibits. I love Jazz, but it is hard to get anyone involved with it who doesn't have knowledge already, so I understand the challenge. I would have like to have seen more of a mention of the wide spread types of Jazz-acid, bebop, future jazz, influence on rap, etc. I wouldn't go again unless I was nearby and it was free.

Great artifacts from early jazz history. Nice interactive displays. Not much focus on modern jazz and improv.

The NLBM and the Jazz Museum was the only draw for me in KC back in 2003. Worth coming back to, and I would bring the family. ©TIFA 2003
