BIO

Baby J and The Cradle robbers are on a mission to make jazz sexy again. Bring back the sounds that made hips swing and parents faint in the 20s, 30s, and 40s. Featuring Jesica “Baby J” Poell and a rotating line up of the hottest jazz musicians in Kansas City. From speakeasies to USO dances, these are the sounds that made people move for generations and will get you on your feet as well.
