GRAMMY®-nominated saxophonist Richard Elliot brings his soulful, high-energy sound to La Rosa Tucson for an evening of contemporary jazz, blues, R&B, and groove-driven artistry. With a career spanning more than four decades, Elliot has earned more than 20 Top-10 Jazz singles, recorded chart-topping albums, and built a signature sound rooted in passion, technical command, and his unmistakable tenor saxophone sound.

From his early years with Tower of Power to performances and recordings connected to artists including Natalie Cole, The Pointer Sisters, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, and The Four Tops, Elliot’s music reflects a deep love of soul, funk, jazz, and melody. His latest album, Straight Up Down, continues that tradition with bluesy grooves, lyrical phrasing, and an honest, feel-good approach to performance. 

Presented in partnership with La Rosa Tucson, this concert promises a polished night out filled with rhythm, warmth, and an amazing night of music.
