RnR featuring Rick Braun & Richard Elliot Early Bird Tickets are Now on Sale at scottsdalejazzfest.org. The duo RnR is among the performers at the Scottsdale Jazz Festival on April 26.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Mark your calendars for an unforgettable evening of music, culture and community as the Scottsdale Jazz Festival returns on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at Scottsdale Civic Center.
Now in its 14th year, the Scottsdale Jazz Festival aligns with UNESCO’s International Jazz Day, this time paying a special tribute to legendary musician and producer Quincy Jones, who died in November. Organized under the visionary leadership of William “Doc” Jones, the festival continues to cement Scottsdale’s reputation as a vibrant cultural destination.
“Several years ago, at the request of the legendary Herbie Hancock, I founded the Scottsdale Jazz Festival to support UNESCO’s International Jazz Day,” Jones said. “Our mission has always been clear: to unite our state around this incredible genre and celebrate its rich history and cultural significance.”
The Arizona Legislature has officially proclaimed April as Jazz Appreciation Month and recognized April 30 as International Jazz Day.
Set against the verdant backdrop of Scottsdale Civic Center, this year’s festival promises to be a spectacular celebration of jazz in all its forms. Enthusiasts will experience a dynamic lineup, featuring celebrated artists, such as Richard Elliot and Rick Braun, who will perform together as the electrifying duo RnR. Known for their signature sounds and showmanship, they are sure to deliver a thrilling experience for the audience.
Dan Pinson, a woodwind master and music educator, will also appear at the festival with his All-Star Band, featuring David Baradic, a former pianist with the Quincy Jones Orchestra, two-time Grammy winning bassist Mel Brown and John Herrera, a Grammy-nominated producer and drummer.
“We’ll perform songs from Quincy Jones and David Sanborn, one of Quincy’s frequent collaborators,” Pinson said. “I hope you’ll join us for a day of great music from some stellar artists!”
The stage will also welcome Carlos Rivas Y Mex-sal, featuring Luisito Rosario, and Nayo Jones of the Nayo Jones Experience, whose soulful voice and captivating presence have frequently dazzled Scottsdale audiences.
This year’s festival is the first in a groundbreaking partnership between the Scottsdale Jazz Festival and Scottsdale Arts. This collaboration is set to bring an even greater level of sophistication and excellence to the event, building on the festival’s history of success.
“For almost a decade, Scottsdale Arts and the Scottsdale Civic Center campus have hosted this important annual event,” said Dr. Gerd Wuestemann, president and CEO of Scottsdale Arts. “We are thrilled to have taken this partnership to the next level by joining forces with Doc Jones and working together to build Scottsdale Jazz Festival into a major destination event for music and jazz lovers from around the Valley, the Southwest and beyond.”
The Scottsdale Jazz Festival has become one of the most anticipated cultural events in the region, drawing a diverse audience from across Arizona, Canada and Mexico. Over the years, it has consistently sold out, with last year’s festival turning away countless attendees at the gates. The event not only showcases world-class jazz performances, but it also fulfills a key objective for the City of Scottsdale: extending the shoulder period of tourism after Spring Training.
Beyond its entertainment value, the festival has a deeply rooted commitment to community enrichment. A cornerstone of its mission is to inspire young people to learn, play and appreciate jazz. Through grassroots efforts led by Doc Jones and community supporters like jeweler Alfredo Molina and Don Fenstermaker, the Scottsdale Jazz Festival has become a symbol of cultural pride and artistic innovation.
Unlike commercially driven festivals, the Scottsdale Jazz Festival is a grassroots-organized event, fueled by passion and a desire to make jazz accessible to everyone. The festival’s history of success is a testament to its organizers’ dedication and vision and the Scottsdale community’s unwavering support.
Attendees will experience diverse jazz styles, from Latin and blues to New Orleans and contemporary sounds. The outdoor setting at the Scottsdale Civic Center will provide the perfect ambiance for this immersive cultural experience as the festival continues to honor the rich legacy of jazz while creating new opportunities for connection and celebration.
“Jazz is more than just music; it reflects our national identity and creativity,” Jones said. “However, its presence in our communities is dwindling, and we must act now to ensure its revival. The Scottsdale Jazz Festival has worked tirelessly to bring together musicians, educators and fans from all walks of life to honor and promote jazz in Arizona.”
Tickets are expected to sell out quickly, so don’t miss your chance to be part of this extraordinary event. Visit ScottsdaleJazzFest.org or call 480-499-8587 for tickets and event information. Scottsdale Civic Center is located at 7380 E. 2nd Street, Scottsdale, AZ 85251.
The Scottsdale Jazz Festival thanks the following 2025 sponsors: Yrefy, LLC (Title); Molina Fine Jewelers; City of Scottsdale; Crescent Crown; Arizona Informant; Fearless Creative; and Scottsdale City Lifestyle.
INTERNATIONAL JAZZ DAY AZ FOUNDATION
For 12 years, the International Jazz Day AZ Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, has partnered with UNESCO and Herbie Hancock’s global International Jazz Day to promote jazz as a vital aspect of America’s cultural heritage.

Scottsdale is Arizona’s host city for this annual celebration with the Scottsdale Jazz Festival.

Australia, 23rd Jan 2025, – Radiant Smiles Dental Care continues to play a pivotal role in providing wisdom teeth removal services in Perth. The clinic has developed a structured approach to this common oral health procedure, addressing issues such as overcrowding, impaction, and infection that often require surgical intervention.
Wisdom teeth removal is a standard procedure recommended when the third molars lack sufficient space to emerge or grow properly. The procedure is widely performed to prevent further dental complications, such as infections or damage to neighbouring teeth. For many patients, it is a necessary step in maintaining long-term oral health.
Dr Anand Ponnusamy, Principal Dentist at Radiant Smiles Dental Care, explained, “Wisdom teeth removal is a well-established procedure, but it requires careful planning and skilled care to ensure optimal results. Through clear communication and a structured approach, patients are supported throughout every stage of the process.”
The procedure begins with a detailed consultation, during which the patient’s oral health is thoroughly assessed. Based on this evaluation, the dental team provides a tailored plan that considers any unique circumstances or potential complications. Post-operative care is equally important, with the clinic following up to ensure patients heal properly and address any concerns promptly.
Feedback from Perth residents has highlighted the importance of comprehensive care for wisdom teeth removal. Many patients have expressed appreciation for the level of information provided both before and after the procedure. This patient-focused approach has contributed to the positive response to the clinic’s services.
Radiant Smiles Dental Care also offers a wide range of dental services, including general and cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, and emergency care. While wisdom teeth removal is one of the clinic’s key services, the broader focus remains on providing accessible and reliable dental care that addresses the full spectrum of patients’ needs.
Looking ahead, Radiant Smiles Dental Care plans to expand its services further, particularly by adopting new technologies and refining existing methods. Ongoing investments in staff training and technological advancements are expected to improve patient care and ensure that the clinic remains at the forefront of dental health services in Perth.
Dr Ponnusamy added, “As dental health needs evolve, it is crucial to adapt and innovate. By embracing new technologies and continually improving treatment techniques, the clinic aims to provide even more comprehensive and effective solutions. The goal is to remain a trusted resource for patients seeking reliable dental care.”
Radiant Smiles Dental Care operates seven days a week, offering flexible hours to accommodate a wide range of patient schedules. The clinic’s location at Shop 6/201 Flinders Street, Yokine, WA 6060 makes it easily accessible for Perth residents and those from surrounding areas.
