Kansas City’s Vine Street Rumble Jazz Orchestra, directed by Kent Rausch, was formed to honor the legacy of the “golden era” of Kansas City’s world-renowned jazz history. The band exclusively performs the same outrageously exciting music that made Kansas City the place to be in the 1930s and ’40s, dedicated to taking the audience back to the wildly famous “jam sessions” and concert performances that literally changed the jazz world and influenced musicians from coast to coast and beyond.

Kenton was responsible for bringing The Four Freshmen to Capitol Records, where they would eventually record 23 albums, thrusting them into the national spotlight. The group has recorded more than 75 albums and 70 top-selling singles and received six Grammy nominations. The Four Freshmen have toured constantly since their inception, performing to sold-out audiences around the globe; the integrity of the sound created by the original four has been meticulously maintained.
