Vegas Valley Students Learn the “Joi” of Jazz, Scat and the First Lady of Song
I have never seen - nor heard - so many young (jazz) hands clapping with such appreciation as I did during Jazz Outreach Initiative’s (JOI) “Jazz for Young People” Concerts at Reynolds Hall at The Smith Center! Over three thousand enthusiastic students from the Clark County School District were bussed in to experience two back-to-back performances with the acclaimed Jazz Vegas Orchestra and world-renowned saxophonist and vocalist Camille Thurman. She definitely answered this year’s theme, “Who is Ella Fitzgerald?” and then some.
Keith Thompson and The Composers Showcase: 20 Years of Showcasing the Best Talent in Las Vegas
As The Composers Showcase of Las Vegas approaches its 20th anniversary, the milestone feels less like a measure of time and more like a testament to conviction. What began as an after-hours gathering of writers and performers took shape in a city celebrated for spectacle, yet quietly lacking space for original voices.

The room was so completely captivated that time itself seemed to suspend. From the first notes to the final cadence, the audience was wholly with the performers, so engaged and emotionally tethered that one sensed a collective reluctance for the afternoon to end.
The Alexis de Tocqueville Society Gathers at The Doberman Drawing Room
Step inside an evening that blends memory, music, and modern Las Vegas elegance. In this reflective blog, we revisit the newly reimagined Doberman Drawing Room, once the beloved Artifice, through a night curated by United Way of Southern Nevada’s Passport to the City series. From the soulful resonance of live piano, cello, and vocals to the intimate conversations, the experience captured how Las Vegas continues to evolve while honoring the spaces and stories that shaped it.
