The way Angela Hagenbach makes us feel
Angela Hagenbach sits alone at the bar and leisurely sips her cocktail as her band warms up the audience. There is only a modest crowd in the club but she's unperturbed. It's early. 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."
