Each year the American Jazz Museum pays tribute to Women in Jazz, past and present, through a combination of live performances and education programs. This year's show will feature a longtime resident of Kansas City: Grammy-nominated vocalist/pianist Oleta Adams. Throughout her career, she has inspired a growing legion of fans in the U.S. and Europe with a sound that draws deeply from her gospel roots and crosses over into jazz, soul and R&B.
