Jazz greats and cabaret stars from around the globe will now have a home in Las Vegas when Cabaret Jazz at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts opens in March 2012. Inside the Boman Pavilion, the new venue will feature a regular schedule of the top performers in an intimate club setting designed for live music.
Jazz artists already scheduled to perform include the San Francisco Jazz Collective and Branford Marsalis, cabaret stars include Barbara Cook and Andrea Marcovicci.
“The Smith Center’s Cabaret Jazz was designed for music and will allow us to bring the greatest jazz and cabaret performers in the world to Las Vegas,” said Myron Martin, president and CEO of The Smith Center. “Think of it as Dizzy’s meets Feinstein’s.”
Las Vegas musician Clint Holmes will be a resident performer every first weekend of the month in the two-level, 258-seat venue. In addition to his performance commitments at The Smith Center, Holmes will also play a key role in The Smith Center’s community and education outreach programs.
