ABOUT DAVE DAMIANI

As the founder of the No Vacancy Orchestra, he has performed with renowned artists including George Benson, Renee Olstead, and Sal “The Voice” Valentinetti.

ABOUT CELEBRATING LHR WITH NAOMI MAURO, DOMENICK ALLEN, AND GARY FOWLER

Celebrating one of the most influential vocal groups in jazz history, these special performances will be recorded live, capturing the energy and artistry of a modern tribute to the groundbreaking sound that forever changed vocal jazz. Lambert, Hendricks & Ross revolutionized jazz in the late 1950s with their mastery of vocalese—the art of writing and performing lyrics over classic instrumental jazz solos. Their innovative harmonies, lightning-fast precision, and unforgettable interpretations of works by Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and other jazz legends earned them worldwide acclaim and established them as one of the greatest vocal jazz ensembles of all time. Their influence can still be heard today in artists and groups such as The Manhattan Transfer, New York Voices, and countless contemporary jazz vocalists.

This exciting new production brings that legendary catalog to life through the extraordinary talents of Naomi Mauro, Domenick Allen, and Gary Fowler—three accomplished performers who honor the spirit, sophistication, and swing of the original trio while adding their own distinctive artistry.

A Rochester Music Hall of Fame inductee, Kelly has performed at legendary venues including Birdland, The Blue Note, and Dizzy’s Club at Jazz at Lincoln Center, as well as major jazz festivals across the globe. Her expressive phrasing, impeccable timing, and heartfelt storytelling have made her one of today’s most respected jazz vocalists, with acclaimed recordings including Jazz Woman and Be Cool.

Joining Kelly is Las Vegas jazz icon Joe Lano, whose remarkable career spans more than five decades. An internationally respected guitarist, arranger, and composer, Lano has performed alongside entertainment legends including Frank Sinatra, Lena Horne, and Steve Lawrence. Celebrated for his lyrical style, rich harmonic approach, and masterful improvisation, he continues to be one of the most influential musicians in the Las Vegas jazz community.
