Suzanna Smith is an emerging talent on the Bay Area jazz scene. With sparkling charm, a golden tone and an innate sense of swing, Suzanna joyfully brings classic jazz standards to life...singing each song as if it's the one she wants her audience to remember her by.

Suzanna lists Anita O'Day, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Mel Torme, Sarah Vaughn, Shirly Horn, Chet Baker, Julie London, Patsy Cline and Otis Redding as her influences. Drawing from this diverse group, Suzanna has developed a sound and style that is totally unique. Her soulful blend is simple, yet sophisticated — true and distinctive.

Currently studying at the Berkeley Jazzschool and privately with jazz vocalist Kitty Margolis, Suzanna has also studied with Madeline Eastman, Laurie Antonioli, Kenny Washington, Maye Cavallaro, and Stephanie Bruce, pianist Jeffrey Gaeto, and pianist Kelly Park, owner of the former East Bay jazz hotspot Kelly's of Alameda.

Suzanna performs regularly at Savanna Jazz and The Octavia Lounge, swinging jazz joints in San Francisco. From 2006-2007, Suzanna regularly entertained audiences at Kelly's of Alameda in Alameda, CA, performing every other Friday night; a run cut short only by the sale of the venue. In addition, she has performed in San Francisco at The Purple Onion, Bistro Yoffi, The Jazzschool in Berkeley, Bacio Cafe in San Mateo and at private events around the Bay Area.

Suzanna continues to win over Bay Area audiences, bringing warmth and grace to each performance and leaving a room full of new fans.

Hello, sister,

I'm glad I finally got the chance to listen in on your page. Wow.
You've got perfect pitch and poise, great range and looks, lots of swing and style and you certainly sing the lyrics like you mean every word.
This is the best version of "I Thought About You" that I know.
Are you going to release a CD soon? I'd love to hear more from you.
good luck with all you plans
Susanna

Thanks for adding me! Your voice is amazing!! I've been a fan of Diana Krall for years but I have to say that your voice has an even smoother, bigger quality sound then hers. I'd buy your CDs and pay good money to see you in concert, too! [Sorry, Diana!] I consider you another one of my lucky finds here in the world of MySpace.
