As the desert blooms back to life and the warmth of the new season begins, The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa unveils an exceptional lineup of spring experiences. Guests of the renowned Scottsdale resort will be immersed in refined relaxation, world-class entertainment, and exquisite culinary offerings with an exclusive jazz festival under the stars, the debut of the resort’s newest bar, and a resort credit package designed for the ultimate indulgence.
Scottsdale Jazz Festival Premiere Party
On Friday, April 25, from 6 to 10 p.m., The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa will set the stage for the fourth-annual Scottsdale Jazz Festival Premiere Party. This spectacular evening is set to feature an unforgettable night of world-class jazz, stunning sunset views, and an ambiance of pure elegance.
Guests will be treated to an extraordinary lineup of performances by Doc Jones & Friends, featuring The Sugar Thieves, Mario Abney and the Windy City Jammers, and Rancel Paumier Nlanf du Tumbao. As melodies fill the night air, attendees can revel in an evening of dancing, delectable cuisine, and signature cocktails beneath a starlit sky.
Beyond the music, the event carries a meaningful purpose—supporting the NextStudent Academy of The Arts Project. A portion of the proceeds will benefit this nonprofit organization, which has provided over 2,000 underprivileged Phoenix youth with instruments and professional instruction, ensuring that with music in their lives, their future remains bright and full of possibilities.
