To Sam, Stacy, Family, and Friends of Pam Hider-Johnson,
On behalf of the Kansas City Jazz ALIVE community of stakeholders including artists, venue owners, educators, students, and patrons, we send our deepest condolences to you for the loss of your beloved Pam Hider-Johnson.
Pam was a true champion of Kansas City Jazz as evidenced by her many years of selfless dedication and tireless advocacy to improving Kansas City’s jazz scene and providing recognition and opportunities for its artists. Aside from her pioneering work with her most cherished organization, the Elder Statesmen of Kansas City Jazz, Pam served passionately as a co-founder and board member of the catalyst organization, Kansas City Jazz ALIVE.
Her dedication to building and working the mission of Kansas City Jazz ALIVE leaves an indelible impact on the greater Kansas City Jazz community – for which we are forever grateful.
In prayer, in gratitude.
Sincerely,
Board of Directors and Staff of Kansas City Jazz ALIVE
