The Piano Guys on your stage at the Midland by AMC in downtown Kansas City.

 

The Piano Guys had a surprising start on YouTube, which led to an amazing PBS special, that finally brought them to your stage at the Midland by AMC in downtown Kansas City.  KCPT offered YOU the best seats in the house, an exclusive Meet and Greet experience, and brought some of Kansas City’s youngest musicians in to the spotlight.

Check out all of our photos from the Meet and Greet and the show.  Feel free to download your picture, post it on Facebook/Twitter and show your friends why you support public television!

Jazz Appreciation: Tommy Ruskin & Julie Turner

April is Jazz Appreciation Month and we celebrate in the studio with top Kansas City jazz drummer Tommy Ruskin and his wife, Julie Turner.

These days the calendar tells us many things to celebrate and one of them is underway right now. April is Jazz Appreciation Month. The National Endowment for the Humanities declared it so 12 years ago.

You may not have realized it, but Mike Shanin probably did. Though you know him best as the host of Ruckus and a long-time radio talker, Mike’s also a real fan of the music that Kansas City once hung its hat on. Among his favorites here in town is a man whose impeccable sense of timing and texture has made him a staple of the jazz scene. Tommy Ruskin brought his drums to the studio and set them up for us, as he and his wife, Julie Turner, joined Mike to talk and play some music here on The Local Show.

You can celebrate Jazz Appreciation Month at the American Jazz Museum at 18th and Vine.
