Smith Studio Jazz is a 20-piece big band playing jazz classics, lesser-known gems, and songs from other genres of popular music. Whether playing a tune written by Cole Porter or Herbie Hancock, SSJ's goal is to have fun while creating a family-friendly party atmosphere for the audience. Suzanne Smith directs, while vocalist and emcee Joe Bauer belts out Sinatra signature melodies, plus jazz and blues favorites, for SSJ's loyal fans.
