LAS VEGAS — We believe Jazz will go on forever. But we can’t say the same of Lady Gaga’s “Jazz + Piano,” which has revived the art form over the past three years.

The robust jazz revival at Dolby Live seems about to bow out. Gaga has said from the stage during the shows most recent run this will be the last version of “Jazz + Piano,” after the production’s current run, which continued last week with upcoming dates on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

Gaga’s options for a different residency production are as vast as her fertile imagination. She could go with a smaller band, a trio or quartet for a more intimate jazz presentation.

Gaga has not returned her pop show, “Enigma,” to the Strip after the pandemic shutdown. The set pieces could be returned for lavish new pop production. She could go with something to reflect her “Chromatica Ball” tour from July-September 2022.

The hope here is “LG” will continue a residency relationship on the Strip. By the end of its run, “Jazz + Piano” will have performed 48 shows. It’s not one of the most entertaining productions ever in Las Vegas, but among the most important, turning a new generation on to this very American music form. A standing O to Gaga for enforcing her will with this show.
