*PLEASE NOTE: All 7PM and 9PM shows at Smoke are Dinner Shows $35|$40|$50|$55 Catherine Russell – vocals Sean Mason – piano "A piano and a voice, nothing else – done right, it never gets old. Catherine Russell and Sean Mason do it right." – Relix Vocalist Catherine Russell makes her Smoke debut in a thrilling duo with pianist Sean Mason. This inspired collaboration, a convergence of sage experience and youthful virtuosity, resulted in the acclaimed 2024 release My Ideal. They perform repertoire spanning the jazz tradition from the early beginnings of the music with homages to James P. Johnson and Fats Waller to the confluence of jazz and popular music with tributes to Ray Charles and Frank Sinatra. In addition to her impressive jazz career, Russell has toured and recorded with Steely Dan, David Bowie, Cyndi Lauper, Paul Simon, Jackson Browne, Michael Feinstein, Levon Helm, and Rosanne Cash, among others, appearing on over 200 albums. Her jazz career has been at least as successful, with celebrated performances worldwide at major jazz festivals, clubs, and concert halls. NPR says her voice "wails like a horn and whispers like a snake in the Garden of Eden," All Music Guide adds, "Russell emerged as a retro old-school vocalist for the ages." Mason was hailed by NPR's "Youngbloods" series as a musician on the rise, and Branford Marsalis says, "Watch out for this kid."
