Jazz Beat: Shay Estes, at the Broadway Jazz Club

Shay Estes has established herself as one of Kansas City’s premier singers. She has done it all: weekend late nights with Trio ALL at the now-defunct Jardine’s; Brazilian music with Arara Azul; and swinging contemporary arrangements of jazz and pop standards with various ensembles. Estes has mastered a range of music uncommon with jazz singers. This week, you can catch her twice at the Broadway Jazz Club. Thursday night, Arara Azul entices with a mix of vocals, bossa nova and samba. Saturday, Estes brings her jazz group to close out the night.
