Kansas City PBS’ Post

“Kansas City Dreamin“ from writer and director Diallo Javonne French marks Kansas City’s African American music culture and its importance to American music — from Jazz, to Hip Hop, Rock 'n' Roll and Soul music genres. The film features area artists such as Charlie Parker, Count Basie, Bobby Watson, Oleta Adams, Janelle Monae and Tech N9ne. 'Art House' is made possible with support from Screenland Armour https://lnkd.in/gzbnAAa6
