Tom Smith, from Long Island, New York, is a singer, pianist, composer and bandleader. He has performed for 30 years in top venues, nationally and abroad for club dates, jingles, cruise ships, concerts, corporate and charity events, resorts and all major NYC Hotels...Tavern On The Green, The Rainbow Room, The Supper Club, Swing 46 and Harrah's, Atlantic City. In 1997, with drummer friend Charlie Busterna, he formed the Tom Smith Big Band: a 19 piece Swing Band of top NYC musicians, which celebrates the hits of the Big Band Era & the Songs of Frank Sinatra. They offer superbly executed vintage arrangements as performed by Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Harry James, The Dorseys, Count Basie, Artie Shaw, etc. as well as a complete catalogue of Standards featuring the works of legendary songwriters: Berlin, Porter, Rodgers & Hart & Hammerstein, Cahn & Van Heusen, Julie Styne, the Gershwins and their peers.
And remember: If big bands are too big for you...we do smaller bands, too: Jazz and Swing Groups or a single pianist for cocktails parties...ensembles sized just right for your more intimate wedding, event or celebration.
