Jazz in Wichita - A McIlwaine Speaker Series Talk

02:00 PM, March 9, 2025 | Wichita-Sedgwick Co. Historical Museum

Jazz music in Wichita has a colorful history that can be traced back to 1919, when Will Marion Cook's New York Jazz Syncopators played a public festival rather than at a banquet planned for President Woodrow Wilson's Wichita reception. Dee Starkey relates the music's history through anecdotal stories of pivotal moments and remarkable connections that formed local culture.

Presented by Dee Starkey, Development Officer & Historian of the Wichita Jazz Festival
