The festival had a rocky beginning, with an announcement in February of unconfirmed performers. Celebrate Kansas City Jazz in the heart of Prairie Village during the Prairie Village Jazz Festival at Harmon Park. He added, "I truly want the AJM to make this right. Hazelton says he's keeping his post up on Facebook until he receives a new check, and, probably most importantly, "it clears the bank." "As far as the festival is concerned, we will come up with a tighter budget." "One of the things going forward is that we are tightening our processes, revamping our financial systems," says Maltbia. The museum's board of directors has a scheduled meeting in July and plans to discuss final figures from the Festival. The city budgets roughly $500,000 a year for the museum. It was kind of a perfect storm."ĭirector of city communications Chris Hernandez said that to help make up for the shortfall, the museum was given advance funding of $117,000 - $118,000 from their annual appropriation. And, then, of course, our daily operations were going on. "Although we had really good attendance for our first attempt at a multi-day festival, we were impacted by the weather and therefore, some of our revenue was not as projected. We had expenses with our festival that were beyond our original calculations," Maltbia said. "It's something that unfortunately occurred for ten performers, eight of them local, and we have been working diligently to rectify that and it is rectified. However, those were rectified."īoard chairman Anita Maltbia echoed this on Friday in a phone call to KCUR. A few isolated issues surfaced regarding specific payments. "Please be advised that all artists that participated in the recent KC Jazz and Heritage Festival have been compensated. Kositany-Buckner released a statement on Thursday night: The American Jazz Museum, which organized the festival, said on Friday that 10 performers were affected, including eight local musicians, and that two checks were re-issued this week.
"Cheptoo (Kositany-Buckner, the American Jazz Museum's executive director) called me this afternoon to offer sincere apologies and assurance that a check was being mailed to me today," he told KCUR.
Hazelton's social media post on Wednesday paid off. Hazelton said he sent three emails that were "largely unanswered" to request payment. According to Hazelton, the check bounced the same week. In a follow-up email to KCUR, Hazelton said he deposited a check the day after his large group, Boogaloo 7, played at the Festival. Other musicians chimed in, including one who wrote, "I still haven't been paid." "Here we are a month after the festival and they've stopped replying to my emails." "I was told two weeks ago that they would mail me a new one," he wrote. On Wednesday, Hammond organ player Chris Hazelton wrote on Facebook that he'd heard checks to some performers had bounced.
