Have a free creme brulee on Sunday in memory of Kerry Layton

• Chris Vaughn
• Raise a ramekin of creme brulee in honor of the late Kerry Layton this Sunday.

Kerry Layton loved creme brulee – and music. The longtime associate at Kansas City’s VPR Creative Group had also been a bass player before his death from leukemia at age 53 in 2007. Six years ago, Layton’s former boss, Curtis Pickering, founder of VPR Creative Group, joined forces with restaurateur Kevin Timmons, co-owner of Wil Jenny’s restaurant at 6700 West 135th Street in Leawood, to create a fund-raising event in Layton’s honor. This Sunday, from 2 to 5 p.m., a group of local musicians will host a jam session at Wil Jenny’s, and the restaurant will serve free creme brulee.
