themattsmithneujazztrio is one of the most notable jazz trios to hit the San Diego jazz scene. Formed in January 2013, this trio has jumped musical leaps and bounds to find music they are all proud of. The songs on their 2016 release “RETROgrade,” feature compositions of each member that capture and captivate jazz and non jazz audiences. These rhythmically free and melodically driven compositions highlight the very essence of a young trio with overwhelming maturity. themattsmithneujazztrio can be found on facebook.com/themattsmithneujazztrio A surprising vocal chameleon with the comfortable swagger of Frank Sinatra, Mark Kopitzke gives Michael Bublé a run for his money. Having toured the world with the 1940’s big band, the Glenn Miller Orchestra, residencies at Disney Resorts and symphony stages, Mark lives and breathes the Great American Songbook. Close your eyes and you’ll swear you’re hearing a darker Chet Baker, colored with the baritone resonance of Bing Crosby.
