Description
In its effort to approximate New Orleans in Kansas City, Jazz: a Louisiana Kitchen, on 39th Street, is loud and boisterous without being cheesy. Swing, blues and jazz bands play here six nights a week to a large melting pot of people who show up for reasonably priced boiled crawfish, raw oysters and cold Abita drafts. Jazz has an authentic, rough charm and no-apologies attitude - perfect for the niche-y 39th Street Restaurant Row. If the music, dancing or occasional nonlocal whooping customers get to be too much, there's room at the adjoining bar, Jimmy's Jigger, with the KU Med students and daytime drunks.
