Step into a night of pure jazz mastery as Live from VICS Las Vegas presents The Joe Lano Trio, recorded September 21, 2025. With more than fifty years as a cornerstone of the Las Vegas jazz scene, Joe Lano delivers a spellbinding performance defined by his warm tone, deep harmonic vocabulary, and effortlessly swinging guitar style. A first-call musician for generations of bandleaders, entertainers, and studio directors, Lano brings the full depth of his musical experience to this intimate live set. 

Joined by John Abraham on drums and Jeff Davis on bass, Lano leads the trio through a thoughtful, elegant set featuring classics from the Great American Songbook, cinematic standards, and jazz favorites. Highlights include a flowing medley from The Wizard of Oz, a three-quarter-time reinvention of Cole Porter’s “Just One of Those Things,” Henry Mancini’s “Two for the Road,” and the noir-tinged “Dreamsville” from Peter Gunn. The trio also debuts an original blues composition written specifically for Abraham — a crowd-favorite moment showcasing their deep musical chemistry.
