The Jazz and Blues Collective Presents: JoJo Smith & the All Stars Band.
Sunday 3rd November.
Known as Australia’s ‘Mistress of Soul’, JoJo Smith is launching her latest CD ‘HERE’S TO YOU’ at the Jazz and Blues Collective.
JoJo’s rich and soulful voice has long been an inspiration to her fans and the musicians lucky enough to work with her.
The album was recorded in the Byron Bay studio of musician/producer Greg Lyon, who assembled an All Star line up of Australian songwriter and musicians. JoJo’s soulful, expressive vocals bring to life songs that reference funk, gospel, soul, country, the spirit of Steely Dan and a cover of Neil Young’s ‘Harvest Moon’.
‘HERE’S TO YOU’ was released in 2023. This album consists of 11 tracks, and features some of Australia’s finest musical talent including drummers Hamish Stewart and Kere Buchanan, guitarists Aaron West and Geoff Wright, and Brendan St. Ledger on keyboards. The album was engineered and mixed by Paul Cheeseman.
This CD was made from a seed of love, which grew and grew, into this sweet body of work.
JoJo is travelling from Victoria on a mini tour, starting at Mullumbimby Ex-Services Club on Friday 1st November, Brisbane Jazz Club on Saturday 2nd, then The Jazz & Blues Collective on Sunday the 3rd.
JoJo will be joined on the day by many of the musicians and singers from the recording for this special one-off performance on the Sunshine Coast.
“…experience the talents of this great artist and one of our great female singers”. (Billy Pinnell)
