Maxx and the Velvet Smoke Jazz Band from Staten Island, NY

Tracy Bidleman (Vocalist), Miho Sasaki (Pianist), Jerrold Kavanagh (Percussion) and Moto Kobayashi (Upright Bass) make up Maxx and the Velvet Smoke. Tracy is a multi-hyphenate vocalist supported by a trio that can sing anything from Jazz to Classical. My partner-in-all-things-musical, Miho Sasaki, is a multi-hyphenate pianist with the same range as myself. Together with the guys, we are magic and will bring your event that extra special touch! I have been singing since I was 12 years old and have been a professional Opera singer, professional Musical Theater singer and have spent 30+ years as a soloist and cantor in many different Episcopal and Catholic churches. I have performed all over the US, UK and internationally, more specific notable venues are Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, Symphony Space, Off-Broadway, to name a few. I am diligent, happy, love making events special, on-time, and drama-free. Miho Sasaki is a pianist, composer and teacher from Japan.
