A NOTE from Cameron Smith
As the artistic director of the Jazz Series at the Bishop Arts Theater Center I can tell you first hand that it’s a world class Jazz experience. I’ve travelled the globe to some of the finest Jazz venues in the world as the executive producer and host of Smooth Jazz TV, Ronnie Scott’s in London, the Montreux Jazz Festival, Monterey, Yoshi’s in Oakland and San Francisco and dozens more so my expectations are incredibly high. So when we launched the Bishop Arts Jazz Series last year we focused on the finest contemporary Jazz talent in the world and brought it here to Oak Cliff’s Bishop Arts Theater Center, the crown jewel of the Tyler Street collective.

The fans are no more than 9 rows from the stage at our theater so the intimacy and immediacy of the performances is stunning. Add to that the fact that the artists love playing here and enjoy spending time with the fans after each performance to connect on a human and personal level. That’s what Jazz and our series is really all about, a community of like minded people who enjoy each other’s company and find strength and inspiration in our shared experiences.
