Two Centenaries And A Whole Lot More!
1915 was a big year for musical talent! The prolific Billy Strayhorn and the one and only Frank Sinatra were born 100 years ago, and KCSM will be celebrating with centenary blowout tributes to Sweet Pea and Ol' Blue Eyes. We’ll also tell the stories of Sonny Rollins, Buddy Guy, Marvin Gaye, Cal Tjader, John Coltrane and Donny Hathaway. And if that’s not enough, we’ll take a trip to Vibe Heaven and Gay Paris.
