Looks like KFF is stocking up the inventory for an eventual museum adjacent to the Jazz hall Of Fame...

Certainly not much of Leon's original collection considering the IRS has pawned off a bunch of his best memorabilia over the years.   Undecided

Cool story though and Russell is arguably worthy of his own museum considering his contribution to music over the last 50+ years.

Or maybe GKFF will bail out the Jazz Hall of Fame and make it a "hall" within the new OK Pop Museum...
