Jazz stars take stage at Smith Center
Overlooking Symphony Park, the Cabaret Jazz club spotlights some of the world's most gifted jazz artists and cabaret entertainers at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts. Since it opened in March, Cabaret Jazz has showcased legendary names in entertainment and music history, including Las Vegas Entertainer of the Year Clint Holmes, Grammy winner and saxophonist Branford Marsalis and cabaret vocalist Andrea Marcovicci.
Upcoming performances include accomplished soprano Barbara Cook, May 24-27; entertainer Emily Bergl, June 8-9; vocalist Lucy Woodward, June 15-16; and Preservation Hall Jazz Band, June 29-30.
Patrons can purchase individual tickets for all shows at The Smith Center by calling 702-982-7805 or by visiting www.thesmithcenter.com. Tickets for most shows in Cabaret Jazz start at $35.
"Cabaret Jazz is the perfect place for local music lovers to enjoy collaborations and performances by our generation's greatest musicians and entertainers," said Myron Martin, president and CEO of The Smith Center. "Outfitted with a unique ambience, exceptional food and an unbelievable artist lineup, it is the complete dining and club experience."
The addition of performances is ongoing and tickets are available to the public upon schedule confirmation. This is unlike other performances scheduled at The Smith Center, which are presented to the public season by season.
"Cabaret Jazz is a distinctly different venue than others at The Smith Center," Martin said, noting that it will operate similar to popular live jazz and cabaret clubs that can be found in New York City or Chicago. "It's an easygoing yet elegant club that will pay homage to the spirit of America's music and will embody the spirit of Las Vegas."
In addition, the club offers signature cocktails and a casual dining menu that includes everything from bourbon-glazed short ribs to Baton Rouge-style gumbo.
