Ernest Melton brings a serious Kansas City jazz night to the Groove Room at Vine Street on Friday, April 17. Known for a sound that pulls from deep jazz tradition while staying open, alive, and present in the room, Ernest leads sets that feel grounded, expressive, and fully in the moment. This is not background music. It is a live set for people who want to hear the band stretch, settle in, and build a night with real shape. Join us in the Groove Room from 6:00–9:00 pm for a Friday set centered on musicianship, feel, and a room that knows how to listen.
