CHRIS MULLINS

During KC's
Prohibition heyday,
jazz grew up at 18th & Vine.
Still a swinging scene today, make sure you
brush up on your jazz slang before stepping
into one of the 100+ live music venues found
throughout the city.

C AT S : The musicians up onstage
jamming through the night
CHOPS : The natural ability to play an
instrument or hit the high notes with ease
IN THE PO CK E T: When a group
is rhythmically in sync

JAM SE SSION : A free-flowing,
improvised group performance-
"invented" in KC

Slap's BBQ

ORDER KC BARBECUE

WA IL : Playing a song
well, as in, "Man, that
Charlie Parker
can really wail."

Some favorites, like
Gates Bar-B-Q,
operate using a special
language. You won't
need a translator, but
get comfortable using
phrases like "beef on
bun" and "Z-Man" (a
signature sandwich
at Joe's Kansas City,
melding brisket,
provolone and an
onion ring).

A KC rite of passage,
this charred specialty
was once given away
for free while people
waited in line at Arthur
Bryant's. Now, the
smoky, juicy delicacy
has become a staple of
KC's barbecue culture.

Not every restaurant
touts a line that runs
out the door, but
understand that the
quickest way to satisfy
your salivating taste
buds is to show
up early.
