Jazz on the Square: Tim Whitmer & the Plaza Players
Thursday, August 16th, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Town Square - Zona Rosa
Tim Whitmer is the prodigal son of Kansas City Jazz. He cut his “key” teeth on the likes of Jay McShann, Mary Lou Williams and Count Basie. Under the tutelage of George Salisbury he honed his own unique style and has treated audiences from all over the world to a taste of Kansas City swing jazz.
When Whitmer played New York jazz clubs, the Village Voice called him “ the best swing band to come out of Kansas City since Jay McShann.”
Whitmer has performed internationally at both the Lugano Jazz Festival in Italy and the Montreaux Jazz Festival in Switzerland and graced the stage of numerous national festivals.
