Jumaane Smith brings his trumpet, voice, and songwriting back to Myron's Cabaret Jazz, settling into the kind of intimate room where every note of soul, jazz, and blues can breathe. This isn't just another touring musician passing through—Smith's credits include five Grammy-winning records, a shared stage with Stevie Wonder at the Grammy Awards, and a spot in Spielberg's "West Side Story," along with two Emmy-nominated TV performances. His sound carries the weight of having played storied rooms like Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Blue Note, Birdland, and Ronnie Scott's.
At Myron's, with its round tables, mezzanine balcony, and view out over Symphony Park, the setting matches the warmth of Smith's horn and vocals. It's a room built for close listening, where a trumpet line can fill the space without needing to shout, and where a seasoned performer like Smith can stretch out across jazz standards, blues phrasing, and soulful original compositions.
