The Mutual Musicians Foundation is located in the heart of Kansas City’s historic jazz district. Originally home to the Black Musicians’ Protective Union Local 627 A.F. of M., The Foundation continues its grand tradition as a living tribute to the city’s long and illustrious musical history.

Jazz greats and popular local players alike continue to show up every weekend, playing the night away just as they have since the 1930s.

The Foundation is proud to be a National Historic Landmark – where working musicians rehearse, relax and casually educate the future generations who will continue to play and shape Kansas City jazz.
