Join us for an evening where the martinis are cold, the jazz is hot, and the cause is Timeless. Slip into your finest evening wear and prepare for an unforgettable night of glamour, intrigue, and swingin’ jazz. Join the Kansas City Jazz Orchestra for Shaken, Not Stirred: A 007 Jazz Gala — an evening inspired by the timeless elegance of James Bond. Thank you to our Honorary Chairs, Oleta Adams and John Cushon!

The night begins at the stunning Zhou B Arts Center, where guests will enjoy cocktails, an elegant dinner, an interactive art heist experience, and live jazz in an atmosphere worthy of MI6’s most exclusive soirées. From there, the mission continues around the corner at the historic Gem Theater for a high-energy KCJO performance that blends the iconic soundtracks of Bond films with the full-bodied swing of Kansas City jazz featuring vocalist, Becky Bliss of Barnaby Bright.
