Kansas City has a jazz heritage that rivals New Orleans and Chicago, dating to the 1920s and 1930s when the city's 18th and Vine district was one of America's great jazz centers — Charlie Parker was born here, and Count Basie made his name in Kansas City's clubs. Today, that heritage sustains an active free music culture at the American Jazz Museum, in the Crossroads Arts District, and at the Power & Light District's outdoor stages.
