RING
IN THE NEW YEAR WITH THE STARS OF JAZZ
TUCSON, Ariz. (Nov. 12, 2008) - The Tucson Jazz
Society is set to host the 2008 Jazz All Stars Gala on New Year's Eve at the JW
Marriott Starr Pass Resort and Spa, beginning at 6 p.m. This annual music-dinner-and-dancing
party will include performances from award-winning artists Rick Braun, Richard
Elliott, Jeff Golub, Brian Bromberg, Gregg Karukas, Ricky Lawson, and NYC's
Urban Jazz Coalition.
More than 1,500 people from
throughout the United States, Canada and the U.K. celebrated last New Year's Eve with
the Tucson Jazz Society and the great team at JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort
& Spa.
"This year's event will again
feature a number of world class, award winning artists together for an historic
jazz encounter, states Executive Director Patricia Possert, ‘Reservations from jazz
lovers around the world for the 2008 Jazz All Stars Gala are coming in way ahead
of numbers received at this time last year."
You are invited to join Tucson in welcoming a star-studded line-up that includes award winning artists Richard
Elliott, Jeff Golub, Brian Bromberg, Rick Braun, Gregg Karukas, Ricky Lawson
and New York City's Urban Jazz
Coalition. Tickets to this event make an
exceptional holiday gift with gift certificates available through the TJS
office.
This nationally recognized event attracts jazz enthusiasts from
all over the world. Southern Arizona's largest and most
exciting New Year's party just gets better each year. What a terrific way to
reward yourself and others at the end of the year, than with an incredible
evening that includes a gourmet five-course dinner, world class jazz, champagne
toast, balloon drop, lots of fun and dancing at one of Tucson's most luxurious
venues -- JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort and Spa."
According to Paul Bellows, CEO Bellows Consulting, the economic
impact of Tucson Jazz Society's 20-plus events exceeds 1.75 million dollars in
revenue annually. Rather than leave Arizona during the holidays,
previous attendees have invited out of town family, securing prime seating and
overnight stays. Now is the time to invest in and protect our own community by
keeping those business dollars in our city and state."
Premium tables are available on a first come, first served
basis. NYE Gala Hotel package cost
is $450 plus tax and includes an overnight stay for two at the JW
Marriott Starr Pass Resort and Spa and two tickets to the gala. Companies are
encouraged to promote their businesses, celebrate the mission of TJS and
support the local economy by sponsoring a table for clients and employees and
friends. Additional sponsorship opportunities are also available. For more
