Once the home of the Black Musicians’ Protective Union Local 627 AF of M., the Mutual Musicians Foundation remains an integral part of Kansas City [2]’s jazz history and the site of late-night jam sessions that attract local, regional, and national performers into the foundation’s intimate setting.
Photos and other jazz memorabilia line the walls of the historic club, designated a National Historic Landmark and the site of special events like the Bird Lives Festival in honor of Kansas City jazz legend Charlie “Yardbird” Parker.
