I didn’t get any pics and just one video because I wanted to be fully present. Kansas City broke out the jazz band to play anti-fascist tunes. I love this city. #NoKings #KansasCity #KansasCityJazz #AntiFascist #AllYouFascistsBoubdToLose

#JCKaelin here: #BennieMoten was one of the world's #GreatestJazzmen, and yet even Wikipedia forgets to honor him on their April 2 page. He defined #KansasCityJazz which still exerts an influence on popular music today. Here then are 7 of some of his greatest recordings! #BennieMotenLives!
