We catch up with veteran Kansas City-based jazz musician and educator Stan Kessler as he prepares to perform at the 2nd Annual Lee’s Summit Jazz Festival on Saturday, June 28, 2025. A beloved friend of Neon Jazz, Stan was part of the inaugural festival in 2024 and returns in 2025 by popular demand.
🎶 He'll bring his celebrated project Horacescope — a heartfelt tribute to jazz legend Horace Silver — to the stage, sharing deep roots that trace back to the iconic Jardine’s era in Kansas City.
In this interview, we dive into:

The legacy of Horace Silver
Reflections on the Kansas City jazz scene
The power of jazz festivals and community connections
