This event is SOLD OUT. However, Suzanna will be back with a Vinyl release date on 11/11/23.

Suzanna brings an ALL-STAR band featuring Lee Bloom on piano, Gary Brown on bass, Noel Jewkes on sax, and Leon Joyce on drums with special guests Jeff Masanari on guitar and Kenny Washington on vocals. This intimate group of musicians will be an exquisite setting for Suzanna's return to the Sound Room stage, and a trip through the music of Peggy Lee.

Christopher Louden in Jazz Times gave this high praise to Suzanna in reviewing her recording, Halfway Between Heaven & Love, "There are relatively few contemporary female vocalists who evoke Peggy Lee, at least not genuinely. Suzanna Smith, new to recording, but a seasoned pro who has been honing her artistry in and around the Bay Area for over a decade, numbers among that rare ilk. That Smith sounds like Lee slightly breathy and warmly sensual with a hint of huskiness is undeniable, but the parallels extend much further. Lee's ability to not just caress a ballad but smother it in mink has seldom been matched. She was also a sage swinger never too much, never too little as well as a first-rate songwriter. Smith checks all those boxes."

Brent Black on CriticalJazz.com said her approach is "organic, eclectic, and contemporary, yet rooted in the tradition of what old school vocal jazz was once all about, soul."
