The HSL Properties Tucson Jazz Festival returns for its eighth annual celebration, with an array of performances and venues from Friday, Jan. 14 to Saturday, Jan. 22.
Through the festival, Tucson is reunited with live performances by world-class musicians– some who are even Grammy® award winners and nominees! From the booked talent, attendees can expect to explore a full-spectrum of styles that exists within the jazz genre.
One of the new events that the organizers are excited to bring to Tucson is the Tucson Jazz Festival Jam, a five-hour hot jazz improv. Hot jazz is best defined as high-energy, emotionally charged rhythms. This event will take place on Saturday, Jan. 15, at Hotel Congress.
Whether someone’s a jazz enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates live music, there’s something for everyone to discover at the HSL Properties Tucson Jazz Festival!
