Third Annual Scottsdale Jazz Festival is April 26

The third annual Scottsdale Jazz Festival Premiere Party, hosted at the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa on Friday, is set for April 26, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

As the sun sets, prepare for an evening of captivating jazz performances by Doc Jones & Friends, featuring artists such as Carmela y Mas, Kiara Jayne, Max Tovstyi, Monique Hasbun and J.White. This year’s lineup promises a diverse blend of jazz, blues, rock and Latin rhythms, according to a press release.

Guests will have the opportunity to feel the energy of the night in the resort’s intimate outdoor seating area beneath the stars, transforming the dance floor into a vibrant celebration of music. Delight your taste buds with a New Orleans-inspired buffet dinner crafted by The Westin Kierland’s renowned chef, Chris Masco.

“We are thrilled to be celebrating our third annual Scottsdale Jazz Festival Premiere Party as part of our Kierland After Dark series offering our guests and local community unforgettable experiences,” Derek Ellis, General Manager at The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa, said in the release.

Kick off the evening with a complimentary welcome cocktail and a free sample of wine or scotch from the hotel’s exclusive Scotch library. For those looking to elevate their experience, a full bar will be available for beverage purchases. For added convenience, each ticket includes free self-parking.

All guests who purchase a ticket to the event will receive an exclusive offer of 20% off any treatment or product at the newly renovated Agave, The Arizona Spa and 20% off a visit to our new restaurant Faro & Brag through the month of May.

In addition to the celebration, this event is also an opportunity to make a difference in the Phoenix community. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the NextStudent Academy of The Arts Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing Phoenix youth from low-income areas with musical instruments and instruction. The program, “With Music on Their Mind There’s No Time for Crime,” has already impacted over 2,000 students with impressive results.
