The fun will begin with a speakeasy at 7 p.m. on Friday, followed by a day's worth of family-friendly events, including reenactments outside Hotel Congress at 311 E. Congress Street.Â

Tucson musician Howe Gelb has musical tastes that run the gamut. So it should come as no surprise that the talented musician is using the Tucson Jazz Festival as the platform to release his latest album, "Future Standards."
According to the Tucson Jazz Fest website, Gelb's latest project is "a jazz-tinged trip reflecting Frank Sinatra, Thelonious Monk, Mose Allison and Dave Brubeck."
Let's hope they hit the mark with that assessment! The show starts at 8 p.m. More information can be found on the TJF website.Â
