HSL Properties Tucson Jazz Festival Announces 2022 Lineup
Jazz In January, the non-profit entity and organizer of the Tucson Jazz Festival has confirmed the final 2022 festival lineup and event details. The HSL Properties Tucson Jazz Festival 2022 will take place Jan. 14-23, 2022.
Organizers are celebrating the return of live jazz by staging performances within a vast array of unique spaces, properties, and venues. TJF Executive Director Khris Dodge said, “Mindful that patrons are craving live music and are also seeking a variety of different spaces in which to gather, our goal is to set safe standards within varied spaces. We have worked hard to identify and activate treasured local spots. The resulting collection of TJF performance spaces will both delight devoted jazz fans and elevate the festival experience for all.”
Performances will take place in traditional concert venues with both modest and larger capacities, open air stages, spacious courtyards, the TJF signature event tent, restaurants and some of Tucson’s unique historic buildings. Patrons can expect the world class performances to actually activate the characteristics of each space, as will the space add an enhanced element to each event.
As in past years, festival organizers have worked hard to book talent that represents the wide range of styles within the jazz genre. Festival guests can explore the full spectrum of jazz music; everything from straight ahead to contemporary jazz performed in idyllic spaces.
