Jazz Maui presents Sunset Jazz featuring the Jeff Hellmer & Friends – trumpeter Paul January, drummer Paul Marchetti, and bassist Dave Graber. Sunset Jazz concert attendees must be 21 or older and have a valid photo ID. Seating is limited and often sold out so advance ticket purchase is required at https://mauichocolate.com/pages/sunset-jazz or www.JazzMaui.org.
Held weekly in the upstairs open-air pavilion, Jazz Maui’s Sunset Jazz features a different line-up of world-class live jazz music accompanied by chocolate/beverage pairings. Concert goers can enjoy selections from an extensive wine, spirits and beer list along with three flights of chocolate and beverage pairings for purchase. Some classic pairings such as ports and reds are offered as well as others that are unexpected such as sake and tequila. Chocolate sommeliers are on hand to assist with pairings or imbibers can create their own.

Maui Ku’ia Estate Chocolate, through its Chocolate Laulima program, supports local nonprofit organizations such as Arts Education for Children Group/Jazz Maui. Proceeds from concert ticket sales benefit Jazz Maui’s music education programs.
