About this Event
Immerse yourself in the magic of the Scottsdale Jazz Festival Premiere Party on Friday, April 4, 2026, from 6:00–10:00 p.m., set against the stunning backdrop of The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa.
As the sun sets over the desert, the evening comes alive with an unforgettable lineup led by Doc Jones, featuring celebrated jazz artists including Carmela Ramirez - The Queen of Latin Jazz, Cold Shot & The Hurricane Horns, and Eloni Yawn. Expect soulful rhythms, dynamic performances, and an atmosphere buzzing with energy under the stars.
Savor the night with a New Orleans–inspired dinner buffet showcasing bold flavors and culinary excellence, paired with a curated Scotch sampling from our Scotch Library. Guests are invited to dance, mingle, and soak in the sounds of live jazz in an elegant outdoor setting.
This special evening also supports a meaningful cause. A portion of the proceeds will benefit NextStudent Academy of The Arts Project, a nonprofit dedicated to providing low-income Phoenix-area youth with musical instruments and instruction. To date, the program has empowered more than 2,000 students, guided by its powerful mission:
“With Music on Their Mind, There’s No Time for Crime.”
Join us for a night where music, cuisine, and community come together in celebration.
