In our time, college “jazz festivals” have become commonplace. Invite some school bands from around the region to show their stuff, bring in some clinicians, and it works. It makes for a solid day or two of jazz education and maybe a good concert in the evening. But there’s something to be said for the expanded approach that Jim Mair and his crew at Kansas City Kansas Community College are taking next week. They’re stretching their festival out over six days and calling it the Kansas City Jazz Summit.
