“The jazz concert series first began in partnership with SAACA, Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance, to bring great local music to the community and encourage everyone to explore Main Gate Square and enjoy all the shopping and dining we offer,” said Kris Siuda, marketing coordinator for Main Gate and the Marshall Foundation in a report.
For three years, Suida has been handling marketing activities for the Marshall Foundation. The foundation organizes events that “supports higher education, youth programs, and arts and cultural organizations,” according to the Marshall Foundation website.
The concert location, Main Gate Square, offers attendees shopping and entertainment right next to the University of Arizona, between Euclid and Park avenues.
“The lush Geronimo Plaza where the concerts take place offers a great outdoor shaded area and is really close to many great dining choices for our concert goers,” Siuda said.
The event planners in preparation for The Friday Night Live Jazz Concert series, worked with Jonas Hunter Productions, to set up scheduling and booking talents several months before the series began.
Jazz lovers who would be hoping to travel to Arizona to experience this concert can easily find a car rental that is cheap, comfortable and can easily aid with movement from one location to another—especially since Arizona is home to one of America’s most famous attractions, the Grand Canyon.
Local talents are invited to the event, and with locally owned merchants in attendance, “it’s a great fit,” according to Siuda.
Typically, most performances have a duration of 90 minutes, and paired with scrumptious meals from nearby local restaurants, the evenings provide a great way to start the weekend, according to Visit Tucson.
“There are crowd favorites we invite every year or two and we also try to find new talent as well,” said Siuda about the performers.
Jonas Hunter Productions is responsible for stinging together an “intriguing schedule” featuring Tucson’s broad range of music styles including smooth, modern and Latin jazz.
The coordinators of The Friday Night Live Jazz Concert series remain hopeful that the event would offer everyone a reason “to go out and enjoy their Tucson summer nights.”
Chillie Willie Groove band featured on July 27, giving Tucson a taste of Percussion Jazz/Funk. According to the Main Gate Square website, Chillie has played with countless salsa, smooth jazz, funk, soul rhythm and blues bands and now gospel bands.
The final opportunity of the season to experience this year’s Friday Night Live Jazz Concert series is August 10, and the Rezonators will perform a set with a New Orleans Brass Band flare.
“The Rezonators Brass Band is here to take music to the streets of Tucson when and wherever possible. Along with drums, you get a double dose of saxophone, trumpet, trombone and tuba,” said the Main Gate Square website.
The Friday Night Live Jazz Concert series is a free event where everyone is welcome to have a nice time and partake in the festivities.
