PITTSBURG, Kan. — It used to be quite difficult for musicians in the southeast Kansas region to locate jazz camps nearby, with the nearest ones being in the Kansas City or Springfield areas. However, since 2024, jazz enthusiasts have been offered the opportunity to stay home with the annual Josiah Fletcher Jazz Camp, which is scheduled to begin on Monday, June 8.
