Neddy Smith
Musician, Bassist, Performer, Composer, Songwriter, Composer, poet and Author Educator.
“Neddy’s greatest strength is his ability to read his audience and engage himself with special-needs participants or a crowd he believes goes hand in hand with music, words, sounds, expressions, and emotion. He brings a sense of balance and mood to the music allowing him to bring tension and release, contrasting his music and storytelling.”
DOLLY CURTIS, THEATER CRITIC, RADIO HOST

My intentions were to depart from the previous project’s strong rhythmic overdrive. This paradigm was primarily motivated by the subtle melodic lines that defined the mood of majority of the tracks that directed me more towards a Trio sound, (piano, bass, and drums) with guest musicians such as flutist, Maddy Hertz.
The blending of various sonic expressions from the Orient, mixed with middle Eastern influences and combined with my Jamaican/Caribbean roots. In addition, other Western musical genres from the past to present experiences from around the world during my many years traveling has prepared me for this album, “Blue Monday.”

Neddy fuses his cultural tradition with Jazz’s new perspective. His concerts are interactive, energetic, and informative. His music is fresh and enjoyable from the title track of “Mood Swing” to “There Goes Monk,” which he dedicated to one of Jazz’s early icons, Thelonius Monk. Neddy will go into his vocal improvisational style and other tracks from some of his previous works, such as Busting Out and others he has performed but has not yet released. To see Neddy in concert is a treat, and you’ll love all the musicians he has assembled for his Mood Swing concert.
