ABOUT THE TOMMY RUSKIN MEMORIAL FUND FOR JAZZ EDUCATION JAZZ FUTURES

The Tommy Ruskin Memorial Fund for Jazz Education is named for the beloved Kansas City jazz master who mentored and inspired countless performers who continue his great legacy today. This fund supports “Jazz Futures”, a program consisting of quarterly live performances throughout the school year where jazz studies programs from area colleges bring their best combos to local nightclubs to show off their talent. The Jazz Ambassadors then give a significant donation to each institution’s jazz program.

The event will be held in VOO, 1214 Baltimore, KCMO
and the website is www.vookansascity.com

Parking is available in the Marriott Downtown garage. 

Unload any musical equipment in the valet zone at 2214 Baltimore, then drive to the Marriott entrance, between Central and Wyandotte, on 12th street and bell staff will direct you to the garage for free parking.
