Since 2012, Siffling has organized the swinning Thomas Siffling’s Christmas Gala in Mannheim. Initially held at the Opera House of the National Theatre Mannheim, this jazz event has been firmly established in the historic Rosengarten Mannheim since 2023, centrally located directly opposite Mannheim’s landmark, the Water Tower.

In 2018, Thomas Siffling, as managing director and curator, also established the top-high-class live jazz club "Ella & Louis" in the iconic Rosengarten Mannheim. ​Two venue awards in 2021 and 2022, such as the “Applaus” Venue Program Prize awarded by the German Federal Government and an annual club occupancy rate of over 90% with 15,000 concert tickets sold (2023/24 season), are impressive evidence of this success. The world’s most widely circulated international jazz magazine, Downbeat Magazine, also named the "Ella & Louis" as one of the world’s top 100 jazz clubs in 2023 and again in 2024.

At the beginning of 2024, Siffling expanded and opened a second "Ella & Louis" Live Jazz Club in the Holzhausenschlösschen in Frankfurt, where he also serves as a curator.

Jazz greats such as Max Mutzke, Curtis Stigers, Barbara Dennerlein, Wolfgang Haffner and Bill Evans have thrilled audiences in the Musensaal of the Mannheim Rosengarten and during the after-show sessions at the Ella & Louis Jazz Club over the past two years. These were magical moments full of emotions in a unique atmosphere.​​
