*Tweet of the Week: Carl Kincaid- What a fantastic night. And privilege. Seeing #BobbyWatson with some of Kansas City’s (indeed, the world’s) greatest players in The American Jazz Orchestra at the epicenter of Jazz, #TheBlueRoom at 18th and Vine. Got him to sign my copy of his #GatesBBQ Suite too. So cool. #jazz
