What is the best city for people that play, sing, or just love to listen to live jazz music.

Probably New York. But all these towns should have at least a few decent jazz clubs.

How does SF get on this list and not KC? I don't think of SF at all as a jazz center.

NYC is a great place to listen to live music, but it is notoriously tough for the musicians. The jazz gigs there mostly pay squat - very difficult to make a living.

New Orleans all the way.

Jazz musicians playing right on the streets every few blocks in the French Quarter.

One of the most festive cities in the U.S.

New Orleans is the number one jazz resort, mainly because that's where it was born. And I would place Memphis ahead of Chicago and New York for both of those as well. As far as major cities in the country go for music (jazz and blues), my top picks for cities would be New Orleans, Memphis, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, Detroit, and Omaha as the tops in these areas.
