Robin Thicke, Maxwell, Charlie Wilson, Erykah Badu, Keyshia Cole and jazz headliners
will heat up the Arizona Jazz Festival on October 25-27, 2013.
The endless Arizona sky will be filled with a galaxy of stars day and night during the Arizona Jazz Festival slated for October 25-27, 2013 at the Arizona Grand Resort & Spa
in Phoenix, Arizona. More than 13,000 contemporary jazz and soul fans
from across the nation are expected to flock to the lavish desert resort
to enjoy performances by a stellar slate of Grammy-winners and
chart-toppers along with a weekend of revelry. Tickets are on sale now
for the three-day festival or as a single-day event and are available
online at www.arizonajazzfestival.com and by calling 602.244.8444.
The Arizona Jazz Festival opens with an evening of seduction starting with the tantalizing pairing of saxophonist Eric Darius and R&B vocalist-producer Lyfe Jennings, who will set the mood for marquee-topper Maxwell, a Grammy-winning soul balladeer. Stick around for the official after-party at the resort.
Live music begins Saturday when nattily-attired guitarist Nick Colionne and new jazz swagger sax player J. White hit the stage followed by a trio set by saxophonists Warren Hill and Tom Braxton with blues-based guitar slinger Jeff Golub. Powerhouse tenors Gerald Albright, Richard Elliot and Euge Groove will blow a fierce sax storm in the desert before ten-time Grammy winner Chaka Khan belts out a song list filled with her massive crossover hits. The Queen of Neo Soul Erykah Badu will reign over majestic grooves and Baduizms preceding a set by “Uncle” Charlie Wilson,
a 2013 BET lifetime achievement award winner, crooning cuts from his
Grammy-nominated R&B songbook. After the concert, a number of the
festival artists will head into the Arizona Grand Resort & Spa for
an all-star jam.
It’s going to be a great-looking Sunday when saxophonists Jessy J and Michael Lington link with keyboardist Jonathan Fritzen to open the final day followed by a neo soul session from vocalist Eric Benet. Emerging saxmen Elan Trotman and Dominic Amato will accompany R&B chanteuse Melanie Fiona for an outing. Captivating multi-instrumentalist Brian Culbertson will inject a potent dose of funk-jazz into the mix during a high-octane performance before fellow blue-eyed soul man Robin Thicke
blurs the lines during a set list certain to include the #1 summer
smash “Blurred Lines.” Closing the festival is edgy multiplatinum
R&B personality and reality television star Keyshia Cole.
