($10-$15 + DICE fees | 6:30pm & 8pm Sets) Nick Coventry, Matt Mitchell, Evan Dain & Marco Rosano form the swinging Hot Club of Tucson Quartet! The group plays jazz manouche in the style of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappeli. The band starts at 6:30pm. Every 2nd Wednesday!

Reinhardt, a Belgian-born Romani guitarist, overcame a debilitating hand injury to pioneer a unique style of jazz guitar that combined virtuosic speed, expressive phrasing, and gypsy musical traditions. Grappelli, a classically trained French violinist, brought elegance and melodic sophistication to jazz improvisation, helping elevate the violin as a serious jazz instrument. Together, their collaboration fused American swing with European sensibilities, laying the foundation for what became known as “Gypsy Jazz” and influencing generations of musicians worldwide.

Amazon Music named his recording of You Don’t Know What Love Is one of the top jazz recordings of 2024, while his music has been featured across major streaming platforms and editorial playlists.

A finalist in the 2019 Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz International Guitar Competition, Cecil has been hailed by Jazz Guitar Today as “carrying the torch into the future,” and by Jazzwise as “a superb guitarist in the bop tradition, with bags of taste, swing and chops.”
Holding a Scandinavian sensitivity to an American tradition, Danish-American Ari Alexander is as equally a jazz musician as she is a singer-songwriter. She was inspired to pursue jazz by her vibrant musical family, including her grandmother and great-aunt, jazz vocalist Teddi King. Aarhus Jazz Festival described her 2025 performance as following: “Ari treats every note with great imagination, and especially her mastery and playful use of scat singing sets her apart from other jazz vocalists. Together, Ari and Cecil anchor a quartet and duo sound that is intimate, dynamic, and rhythmically alive.
Their new album Kaleidoscope features acrobatic, energetic originals penned by Ari and Cecil as well as reconstructions of the Great American Songbook.

($15-$20 Tickets + DICE fees | 6:30pm Show | 16+) An evening of drummer-led experimental music, anchored by some of the most restless percussionist-composers working today.
Devin Gray is a drummer, composer, and bandleader based in Berlin. A fixture of the international creative-music scene, he’s collaborated with Dave Liebman, Tim Berne, Kris Davis, Michael Formanek, and Gerald Cleaver, and leads his own Rataplan Records. For this performance he presents his acclaimed solo work for drums + electronics, comprising of stunningly detailed playing that All About Jazz described as “a cross between Fritz Hauser and Roy Haynes.”
Daniel Rossi’s Mess is an ever-evolving experiment from the New York drummer, guitarist, and composer. Rossi has drummed for Haley Heynderickx, Fievel Is Glauque, and Weyes Blood; with MESS, he folds those wide-ranging instincts into a project that fuses jazz, progressive rock, and free improvisation.

($20-$30 + taxes & fees | 6:30pm & 8:30pm shows) New York City transplant vocalist Sarah Tolar and trumpet virtuoso and University of Arizona professor Jason Carder team up to perform the 1955 album by Sarah Vaughan & Clifford Brown. Lauded as Vaughan’s favorite jazz recording session, the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. Joining Tolar and Carder are Angelo Versace on piano, Scott Black on bass, and Arthur Vint on drums.
The iconic 1955 jazz album recorded by Sarah Vaughan and Clifford Brown is a masterpiece that captures the unparalleled chemistry between the legendary vocalist and the virtuoso trumpeter. Known for her lush vocal tone and impeccable phrasing, Vaughan’s performance on this album showcases her stunning range and emotional depth, while Brown’s trumpet playing is marked by its precision, warmth, and lyrical beauty. In this special performance, vocalist Sarah Tolar and trumpeter Jason Carder bring a fresh interpretation to the timeless music.
Tolar, a vocalist acclaimed for her expressive artistry and deep connection to the jazz tradition, and Carder, a trumpeter renowned for his technical brilliance and musical sensitivity, offer their own personal touch to the tunes from the album. Together, they reimagine classic tracks like “Lullaby of Birdland” and “I’m Glad There Is You” with their own distinct voices as artists. This evening’s performance is not only a reverent nod to jazz history but also a reminder of the enduring power of these legendary musicians’ contributions to the genre.

($10-$15 + DICE fees | 16+ | 6:30pm & 8pm Sets) Nick Coventry, Matt Mitchell, Evan Dain & Marco Rosano form the swinging Hot Club of Tucson Quartet! The group plays jazz manouche in the style of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappeli. The band starts at 6:30pm. Every 2nd Wednesday!
Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli were pivotal figures in the development of jazz in Europe, particularly through their groundbreaking work with the Quintette du Hot Club de France in the 1930s. Reinhardt, a Belgian-born Romani guitarist, overcame a debilitating hand injury to pioneer a unique style of jazz guitar that combined virtuosic speed, expressive phrasing, and gypsy musical traditions. Grappelli, a classically trained French violinist, brought elegance and melodic sophistication to jazz improvisation, helping elevate the violin as a serious jazz instrument. Together, their collaboration fused American swing with European sensibilities, laying the foundation for what became known as “Gypsy Jazz” and influencing generations of musicians worldwide.
***”Hot Jazz Wednesdays”** take you back to the roots of jazz with music from the 1920s and ’30s. Every 2nd Wednesday is reserved for the Hot Club of Tucson, which performs French Jazz Manouche in the style of Django Reinhardt & Stéphane Grappelli. Every 4th Wednesday features Marco & The Polos performing music from New Orleans & Chicago.*

($25-$35 Tickets + DICE fees | 6:30pm & 8:30pm | 16+) Come out for an evening of Brazilian jazz by way of Italy with vocalist Mafalda Minnozzi & guitarist Paul Ricci! They performed at the Century Room exactly one year ago on September 25, 2025 and now return with a full band featuring Colin McIlrath on bass and Arthur Vint on drums!
On the heels of her JazzWeek radio chart topping album RIOFONIC, vocalist Mafalda Minnozzi makes her first westward tour from her home bases of NY, Brazil and Italy. Italian born and Brazilian baptized via her over 20 albums and touring career in Brazil that includes duets with the legendary Milton Nascimento, Joao Bosco and Leny Andrade, Mafalda will surprise with her blend of the Brazilian, American, French and Italian songbook classics wrapped up in an exciting arranging style with NY guitarist Paul Ricci. Their unique takes and improvisational twists blend the familiar with the unexpected. Mafalda connects in a visceral way that has moved audiences from NY’s top jazz clubs to festivals and theaters throughout Europe, S. America and even Bahrain.
“Minnozzi is boundlessly expressive… connecting to each lyric viscerally, regardless of language … where everything including body language and gesture heightens the emotional impact of her delivery. Minnozzi’s approach to a song is one of a kind.” David Adler, editor-in-chief JazzTimes magazine
MAFALDA MINNOZZI
Mafalda Minnozzi has arrived in NY on the jazz scene by way of a long journey across three continents. Originating in Italy and evolving in Brazil to the USA with many stops on the way, the musical language that evolved from her journey comes to light on her latest álbum “RIOFONIC”.
After recording over 20 albums in Brazil, Mafalda’s latest release is her fourth in a series for the American jazz market in collaboration with producer, guitarist and arranger Paul Ricci. Her first was the critically acclaimed Brazilian based “SENSORIAL – Portraits in Bossa & Jazz” (2020) featuring Art Hirahara, Rogerio Boccato, Essiet Okon Essiet, Will Calhoun, Victor Jones and Harvie S. It is still in rotation on WBGO radio and has earned her Latin Jazz Artist of the Month on WUCF radio.
PAUL RICCI
An accomplished stylist born out of the NYC jazz scene and nourished by a life of touring through Brazil, Italy and beyond, Ricci has integrated Brazilian, Latin, African and Caribbean musical accents into something unique as a soloist, composer, arranger and especially as accompanist to vocalist Mafalda Minnozzi.
From his time in the jazz clubs with Jaki Byard, Michael Wolff, Dennis Irwin, Sonny Fortune, David Kikoski, Harold Vick, Victor Jones, Santi DeBriano, Mino Cinelu, Dom Um Romao, Hugo Fattoruso, Mike Clark, Larry Willis and so many others to performances with Bobby Sanabria, Bebel Gilberto, the African Blue Note Band and tours with Astrud Gilberto and Harry Belafonte, it can be said that the musical choices he makes come from a life in the music. His album with Anthony Jackson, Steve Jordan, Randy Brecker and others speaks to the reach of his sound.
His collaboration with Minnozzi has produced over 20 albums and countless concerts that have culminated in RIOFONIC, Minnozzi’s latest that placed in the top 10 on the prestigious JazzWeek chart for a 13 week period.

($25-$35 + DICE fees | 6:30pm & 8:30pm Shows | 16+) Chicago based Markus Rutz is known for his blues-inflected, soulful trumpet voice and warm, gorgeous tone, earning favorable accolades and radio attention both nationally and internationally. As a composer, Rutz brings a broad range of writing experience and a diverse palette of sounds to his recordings.
His most recent release, Many Moons, marks the ninth album from the well-regarded trumpeter and composer, following Storybook (2023) and Penumbra (2024). The album features original music performed in small-group settings with contemporaries from the Chicago music scene. The ensemble sound recalls Rutz’s earlier Blueprints project, expanded through deeper grooves, broader stylistic reach, and increased compositional nuance. Notable recognition has included national exposure on NPR’s Morning Edition & Grammy nomination consideration for music from Blueprints.
This performance features saxophonist Brice Winston who also lends his artistic, fiery sound to Many Moons and also the Blueprints albums! Also coming from Chicago is long time musical partner Arian Ruiz who along with Markus makes the core of the group Third Coast Sounds.
Original compositions remain central to Rutz’s work, with titles and themes paying homage to people, places, and the idea of unity. His music is performed with a clear sense of fun and playfulness, balancing emotional depth with an inviting spirit.

A native of Dayton, Ohio, Luke Schneider is a pedal steel guitarist based in Tennessee. Over the past three decades he has established himself as an in-demand session and touring musician across the Outlaw Country, Indie/DIY, and experimental scenes in Nashville. Most recently, he has found his place in the landscape of New Age and pastoral Americana music. His well-received debut solo album, ‘Altar of Harmony’ (Third Man Records), is a collection of cinematic ambient compositions created entirely by pedal steel. In recent years Luke has continued his experimental elevation of the pedal steel guitar and delved deeper into meditative and calming sounds. In 2026, he will be touring in support of two releases, a solo EP titled ‘For Dancing in Quiet Light’ via Leaving Records, and a duo record with modular synthesist Jamie Lidell titled ‘A Companion for the Spaces Between Dreams’ via Northern Spy Records.
This performance is presented as part of the ongoing Space Travelers Union Presents residency at the Century Room.
Space Travelers Union is a creative-musician collective formed in the Arizona desert through the meeting of composition, improvisation, and electronic signal. The project has reached international audiences through BBC6, Radio France’s FIP, JazzFM, and Gilles Peterson’s WorldwideFM, with additional recognition from Bandcamp’s “New and Notable” and YouTube Music’s Jazz Hotlist.

THE BIG BEAT OF MODERN JAZZ
Art Blakey was a giant of modern jazz — one of the rare drummers who played with every other pioneer and grew to become a bandleader in his own right. He is still celebrated as much for his distinctive musical vocabulary — dramatic press rolls, spicy rim shots, leaning on the hi-hat for the primary pulse — as he is for hiring legions of future jazz stars in his Jazz Messengers group (Wayne Shorter, Wynton Marsalis, and Terence Blanchard are but three headliners who graduated from the University of Art Blakey!) He’s also known as the father of hard bop, the blues-rich style that is the primary flavor of small-group jazz to this day. Who was Blakey and how did he achieve his greatness? What about his breakthrough recordings and this “hard bop” approach that still sounds so modern? The answers to these and other questions will be answered at The Century Room.

($30-$70 + DICE fees | 5pm & 7pm Sets | 16+) The Century Room is thrilled to welcome Rachael & Vilray for their debut performance in Tucson, AZ!
Since their formation in 2015, Brooklyn-based duo Rachael & Vilray have achieved a certain timeless quality with their singular take on traditional pop. Though rooted in the language of an earlier age, their songs transcend nostalgia with wit and a flair for the theatrical. On their third album West of Broadway, vocalist Rachael Price (also of Lake Street Dive) and guitarist/singer/songwriter Vilray evolve their music’s previous dreaminess to achieve a refreshing angularity built on left-of-center instrumentation (e.g., vibraphone and alto saxophone coasting above the moody strains of baritone sax and trombone). Produced by Dan Knobler (Allison Russell, Bahamas), West of Broadway unfolds in a series of sharply drawn vignettes inspired by a recent fascination with classic musicals—bringing their luminous vocals to offbeat tales of love and heartache along city streets.
Recorded at the legendary Sear Sound in Manhattan, West of Broadway took shape with the help of renowned musicians like saxophonist Steve Wilson (a former member of Chick Corea’s Origin sextet) and drummer John Riley (Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie). Over the course of 10 lush and effervescent tracks, the album delivers standouts like “Love Comes Around” (a joyously romantic piece that set the direction for the LP’s West Coast jazz-inspired aesthetic), “My Key to Gramercy Park” (a fantastically salty number narrated by a well-to-do character who lives in lonely suspicion of all those who covet their key to the notoriously exclusive private park), and “Off Broadway” (on which golden-voiced comedian Stephen Colbert joins in for what the duo dubs an “oddly grumpy anti-Broadway screed”). Thanks in large part to the colorful detail and extravagant personality of Rachael & Vilray’s storytelling, West of Broadway ultimately immerses the audience in an exquisitely out-of-time vision of their beloved New York City.
There is a strict 4 ticket limit per show. Additional orders exceeding the ticket limit may be canceled without notice. This includes orders associated with the same name, e-mail address, billing address, credit card number, and/or other information
