About Jumaane Smith
“A unique and irresistibly creative voice” (DownBeat)
Experience the rollicking excitement of blues, funk, jazz, shuffles and New Orleans-style street beats with charismatic jazz trumpeter, vocalist and composer Jumaane Smith, whose original compositions and spirited renditions of nostalgic standards like “When You’re Smiling,” “St. James Infirmary” and “You’re Nobody Until Somebody Loves You” will fill the historic Palace Theatre to create an intimate evening of exhilarating entertainment.
Mentored by the legendary Wynton Marsalis during his years as a Juilliard scholarship student, Smith subsequently toured and recorded with Michael Bublé for nearly two decades, was a member of Harry Connick Jr.’s house band and worked with musical legends like Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, Aretha Franklin, Christian McBride, Kamasi Washington, Alicia Keys and Jon Batiste. He has performed on five Grammy-winning records, in two Emmy Award-nominated TV performances, at the Grammy Awards with Stevie Wonder, in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story and at world-class music venues, including Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Vail Jazz Festival, the Hollywood Bowl and Joe’s Pub.
CES unites with Frostburg State University’s National Public Radio affiliate station WFWM-FM. Immediately following the performance, WFWM-FM station director Chuck Dicken joins the artists for a lively, interactive discussion with audience members.
