On January 13th, 2022, Emmet Cohen will headline our very first Club 100 Celebration.  This event will include a 3-course catered dinner, drinks and hand-crafted cocktails, in an all immersive atmosphere at a yet-to-be-disclosed location.  We know this will be a most memorable evening full of great food, and music.

ABOUT CLUB 100

Jazz music creates an environment that blends backgrounds, ethnicities and cultures. It is within this collective community that we blossom as individuals and as a community. Sponsoring the arts is an effective way for you to demonstrate your commitment to our community and to your family, friends, employees, and beyond.

We limit the membership of this club to 100 members and are looking for community leaders who will stand behind the arts, seeing the greater picture of what that support can do. Remember, when you partner with TJF, you partner with the entire city of Tucson!
