Thank You for attending - Friends of Jazz on the Hill: A First Gathering with Lasting Impact

Thank you to everyone who made the first Friends of Jazz on the Hill gathering so full of purpose, celebration, and possibility. The evening honored Tuck & Patti with the ICON Award for their extraordinary artistry and brought our community together to support the next generation of jazz musicians.

Because of the generosity in the room, the 2027 Youth Stage will have the support to grow — and, for the first time ever, KCSM can capture and share Youth Stage performances beyond the festival day. Even more young musicians will have the chance to be heard.

Thank you for helping open the stage wider, carry the music farther, and make Jazz on the Hill possible for the next generation.
