“The Scottsdale Jazz festival is a tribute to the 11th Annual International Jazz Day, and this year, the event is supported through a tourism recovery grant from the "Visit Arizona Initiative." On April 30th at the Scottsdale Civic Center Park, NE Lawn, we have a spectacular lineup of Richard Elliot, Rick Braun & Nayo Jones, Jaleo Afro Cuban ensemble, along with The Molina’s 32nd Jazz Band, all-star youth jazz orchestra, and World-renowned trumpeter Jesse McGuire and Carlos Rivas. The proceeds from the festival sponsor music programs for At-Risk youth in organizations such as Next Student Academy for the Arts, Molina’s School of Jazz, and the Doc’s summer music program,” Jones added.
