The American Jazz Initiative and the Las Vegas Jazz Connection are proud to present the world premiere of the Las Vegas Suite by Nathan Tanouye on Sunday April 30th, 2017. A much anticipated project, Tanouye's Las Vegas Suite is a five-movement jazz orchestral suite dedicated to the exciting highs, sometimes woeful lows, and awe-inspiring landscape of our dynamic city. Las Vegas Suite features lyrics by Clint Holmes.

This concert will also present the debut performance of "Archipelago" by Aaron Ramsey which mixes Latin grooves with high-energy progressive rock beats to transport the listener across the desert to distant islands dotted across vast seascapes real and etheric. 

This exciting concert will be presented on Sunday April 30th, 2017 at The Space LV at 2:00 pm.
