Artists To Watch - Las Vegas

On this episode of Artists to Watch Las Vegas, host Carlaya sits down with nationally recognized smooth jazz saxophonist Jackiem Joyner ahead of his upcoming Las Vegas CD release performance.

Jackiem joins the show to talk about his brand-new album Every Part of Me, sharing why this project is especially personal and how it explores deeper musical influences—from classic R&B and soul to vinyl-era nostalgia—while staying rooted in the signature saxophone sound fans know and love. He also reflects on his remarkable career moments, including performing alongside legends like George Duke and Angela Bofill, and what those experiences meant to him as a developing artist 

The conversation leads into Jackiem’s highly anticipated Las Vegas Smooth Jazz Concert Series appearance, presented by Sorente Jazz & Wine Escapes, where fans will hear selections from the new album performed live for the very first time in an intimate, upscale setting.
