Jazz at the Oxford: James Torme

Date October 16, 2026 – October 17, 2026

Experience James Torme live at Jazz at the Oxford, an intimate concert experience in the Minnesota Ballroom at The Oxford Hotel Bend. With limited seating and the artist just steps from the audience, each performance offers 90 minutes of live music in one of downtown Bend’s most distinctive settings.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Hailed by the New York Post as “definitely his father's son — smooth and cool,” award-winning vocalist James Tormé carries one of the greatest names in jazz into thrilling new territory. The son of three-time Grammy winner Mel Tormé, James has headlined the Walt Disney Concert Hall, L.A.'s Greek Theatre, New York's Birdland, and London's Ronnie Scott's, blending old-school charm with new-school swagger. Celebrating his father's centennial, Tormé delivers the Great American Songbook with incomparable warmth, wit, and swing — “an extraordinary singer with immense resources — audacious and brilliant” (London Jazz News).
