As the founder of the No Vacancy Orchestra, he’s performed with icons like George Benson, Renee Olstead, and Sal “The Voice” Valentinetti. His fresh approach to jazz and Vegas-style entertainment has made him a staple in clubs and theaters nationwide.

ABOUT LANDAU EUGENE MURPHY, JR.

Born in Logan County, West Virginia, Landau is a celebrated American jazz vocalist whose story is as inspiring as his music. Rising from humble beginnings, Murphy became a household name after winning the sixth season of NBC’s America’s Got Talent. His smooth voice, rich tone, and timeless interpretations of jazz standards captivated millions of viewers, securing his place as one of the show’s most memorable champions.

Since then, Murphy has released four albums, blending timeless classics with his own unique style and establishing his reputation as a versatile and passionate performer. He has performed across the globe, including a concert in Shanghai, China in 2013, and a high-profile performance at the World Expo in Dubai in 2022. Yet, despite his international acclaim, he never forgets his roots. Each year, he closes out his schedule with a holiday tour across West Virginia, bringing joy and music to fans in his home state.

Named one of the Jaycees Ten Outstanding Young Americans in 2014, Murphy’s greatest legacy lies not only in his accolades but in his authenticity—remaining true to himself while lifting others through his music and philanthropy. His journey is a testament to perseverance, humility, and heart.

ABOUT THE JAZZ OUTREACH INITIATIVE (JOI)

Dinner & A Show is back! The third Wednesday of the month welcomes the return of the unforgettable “Dinner & A Show” featuring the incredible Jazz Vegas Orchestra, performing in support of the Jazz Outreach Initiative (JOI). This special evening is proudly sponsored by Vic’s Las Vegas and Signature Cruise Experiences (formerly Jazz Cruises), with proceeds benefiting JOI to support jazz education and outreach programs.

ABOUT BENNY BENACK III

A national favorite in the jazz world, Benny’s dynamic trumpet playing, smooth vocals, and captivating stage presence have made him a sought-after performer at top jazz festivals and venues across the country. Known for his vibrant energy and exceptional talent, Benny blends traditional jazz with his own unique flair, making every performance a memorable experience.

ABOUT MARLENE RICCI

Marlene Ricci was born in Buffalo, New York, where she made her singing debut at age five. By sixteen, she was driven to perform at nightclubs in the Buffalo area by her father. A few years later, she made her way to Las Vegas, where Frank Sinatra saw her “belting it out” in the Aladdin lounge. He immediately called her over to his table and asked her to join his tour and put Marlene on the bill as his opening act. During that two-and-a-half-year tour across the country, Marlene was picked by Smith-Hemion Productions as the Cinderella girl and featured in the CBS TV Special “Cinderella at the Palace,” videotaped at Caesars.

Marlene went on to perform with many of the world’s greatest entertainers, Bob Hope, Paul Anka, Flip Wilson, Don Rickles, George Burns, Lee Greenwood, even the Village People, and many others. A Top 20 pop hit in Europe, “Tonight” created concert performances worldwide and numerous TV appearances in Europe and in the US, on Merv Griffin, Nashville Now, and The Tonight Show. After breaking all records during her run at The Top O’ the Dunes, she returned to the Strip as a guest star in “The Great Radio City Spectacular” featuring the Rockettes at the Flamingo. That successful engagement led to a long run in the Le Bistro Theater at the Riviera. Since then, Ricci has graced the stage of many Vegas Venues, including her recent performance to a “sold out” audience at the Elegant Stirling Club.

Marlene continues to wow listeners with her incredible song styling, versatility, and unpretentious stage manner. She has a fine ability to work with an audience, getting close – a sense influenced, no doubt, by Frank Sinatra.

ABOUT LAURA TAYLOR

Renowned jazz vocalist and songwriter Laura Taylor returns with her highly anticipated sixth album, Think I’m In Love (Vegas Records). Featuring a collection of original works and her first recording of the Diana Ross classic title track, Taylor’s new release highlights her lyrical sensitivity, rich voice, and wide-ranging artistry. Collaborating with pianist-arranger Uli Geissendoerfer and an ensemble of top musicians, the album moves seamlessly from soulful R&B grooves to cinematic ballads and swinging jazz duets. A veteran performer with roots in opera and a celebrated career in New York and Las Vegas, Taylor has graced venues from the Waldorf Astoria to jazz clubs worldwide. With “Think I’m In Love,” she delivers what many consider her finest work to date—an intimate, expressive journey through love, longing, and timeless songcraft.
