There's two levels of entertainment. The service was friendly. Only thing is that they don't have food so eat beforehand. There was a hummus plate and some desserts. We had soooo much fun.

My husband and I actually drove past this place at first--I was expecting green signage, not red,…read moreso it didn't immediately catch my eye. Even walking in, we weren't quite sure what to expect. The entrance is small, and you're greeted right away, which was a nice touch. Once inside, it's very dark with deep red lighting--almost like stepping into a cave. It took a moment for our eyes to adjust, but once they did, we immediately felt at ease. The space is cozy and perfectly aligned with its purpose: it's all about the jazz. The service was great--welcoming, attentive, and added to the overall experience without taking away from the music. And the music? Absolutely captivating. It pulls you in and transports you--you can't help but settle into the vibe and just enjoy the moment together. We went on a Monday, so there was plenty of seating, but I noticed there's also a lower level that likely accommodates larger weekend crowds. There's a solid drink menu and a small selection of food, but honestly, this isn't the place you come for a full meal. Come for the drinks, stay for the music, and soak in the atmosphere.

We bought tickets online in advance and showed up at 7:15pm for an 8pm showtime to ensure table seating. The place was empty and we sat at a booth just a few feet from the stage. By showtime the seats were filled and before the intermission, the space was full. The Blue Room is attached to the Jazz Museum and is one of only a handful of clubs in KC that continue to book jazz artists exclusively. The space is small intimate and designed and furnished well to harken back to KC's swing era. Our waitress Cassandra was the best and meeting travelers form Los Angeles and Manhattan made me proud to be a Kansas Citian with our jazz history. We can't wait to return.

In a city full of jazz, black dolphin still stands out. They perfectly encapsulate the ritzy,…read moreclassy lounge that you'd expect to find in 50s/60s KC. The jazz artists are amazing! I was fully immersed into the music and the way the room is set up allows for optimal listening at all angles. The cocktails I tried were amazing. I had the lady loves chai, which I ordered a second round because I loved it so much! We also ordered the pink lady and the horse feather which were great. Black dolphin feels like a moment in time, while still bringing a modern take to the jazz scene in KC.

For those non-locals like me who haven't been going for 20 years, it's an outdoor free music festival held once a year in Corporate Woods Business Park. All donations and proceeds concessions and such go to local children's charities. What I really appreciated about the event was that many of the concessions were run by local favorites like La Bodega, Jack Stack and Bo Ling's. Don't worry though, you can still get your nacho's and funnel cake for those seeking a some traditional fair food. Beer, wine and sangria also flows aplenty! Live Jazz playing Friday and Saturday night and there's a fun run on Saturday morning. Personally the run is not for me after all the Sangria from Friday night, you won't catch this girl tackling a 5K or 10K. But don't worry runners, I'm here for moral support! I'll meet you for another glass of Sangria at the finish line! Hints - Don't bring a cooler, they aren't allowed as you are supposed to buy the food there. Before you complain remember it's for the kids. Trust me I'm using that line all weekend "I need this kettle corn, it's for the kids!" - Bring blankets and lawn chairs, no seating in the park. Unless you are going fancy and buying a seat ($60) in the jazz pavilion (read: picnic tabled area with while picket fence)! - Bring cash. Enough said. - Come early to stake out your claim in the grass and to deal with parking. How can you not love it? Free jazz, an excuse to relax in the park all afternoon and evening and eat and drink your weight in goodies from local eateries! This might have to be my new KC tradition!

Whoever you come to see will look and sound good and you should have a good time.

It was an all-ages show, and yes there was a baby at the bar. I mean the baby was in his mom's arms, but there was a baby at the bar. I guess they take "all ages" literally in LFK. The staff was friendly from entry to exit. not an overly crowded venue. It seems you could pluck this venue from its location and move it to Westport in KCMO and it would fit right in. I hope to be back for future shows.
