Outdoor Jazz Shows in New York

Jonah Smith is a critically acclaimed American singer-songwriter whose work has been recorded by Bonnie Raitt. His new album, Satisfied, marks both a new chapter and a return to the spirit of his early work, honed in the bars of Greenwich Village where he began performing under his own name in the early 2000s. Recorded with the LA band Family Company, the album finds Smith leaning into vintage soul, sung in a voice Anthony DeCurtis calls "smoother than a spoonful of Tupelo Honey."The seed for Satisfied was planted in January 2018, when Family Company staged a tribute to Bill Withers in Hollywood and invited Smith to perform. Backstage, excitement rippled through the green room: Withers himself was in the house. The band opened the night honoring their hero; it ended with Withers onstage as a roomful of singers serenaded him.The collaboration continued through sold-out shows and video tributes celebrating Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, and Sam Cooke.The title track was released as a single in the summer of 2024 and quickly gained traction on TikTok and streaming platforms, becoming their most successful song to date.That momentum culminated in early 2025 when Smith and Family Company gathered in Los Angeles to record the album live to tape in a single day.The record features contributions from Eric Krasno, Adam Levy, Al Street, Jon Sosin, and Andy Stack. Horn arrangements evoke the Memphis soul sound that guided the album.Smith first gained national attention as a semifinalist on Season 9 of America's Got Talent, performing live at Radio City Music Hall.He has opened for Los Lobos, Little Feat, and Taj Mahal, and performed at Bonnaroo, SXSW, and Golden Gate Park.His music has appeared on Good Morning America, SiriusXM Coffeehouse, and international television campaigns.
