All musical roads lead to Bach. Not one of the many J.C. Bach's or the significant W.F or C.P.E Bach but - the big guy - Johann Sebastian Bach. From the simple educational pieces in the Notebook for Anna Magdelena Bach to the mind blowing complexity of the Concertos for Solo Violin, musicians all over the world have grown up with Papa Bach.

She knows they'll show. It's this quiet confidence-and her velvet voice-that has made her a Kansas City favorite for nearly two decades. Hagenbach is the headliner for the Amercian Jazz Museum's "Vine Street Boogie."

We suppose it's due to the Easter weekend, but every major classical music or dance presenting organization in Kansas City is taking the weekend off.

On Monday at noon there is a free trumpet-piano recital at Johnson County Community College. That's it. Next weekend is a different story - check back next Wednesday to read all about it.
