Pete Smith

Saturday night! Come hear Antonio Carlos Jobim’s classic melodies reimagined with a jazz swing! NYC based Pete Smith and Dave Ambrosio come together for an intimate evening celebrating the timeless music of Antônio Carlos Jobim with drummer Arthur Vint.

A dynamic and widely traveled guitarist, Smith has performed at major international festivals, toured across more than 30 countries, and collaborated with artists ranging from Norah Jones to Donald Byrd and Michael Feinstein’s Carnegie Hall Big Band. His deep connection to Brazilian and Afro-Cuban traditions, particularly through his long-running work with Grupo Los Santos, makes him an especially compelling interpreter of Jobim’s songbook.

Alongside him, Ambrosio brings over 25 years as one of New York’s most respected bassists and educators, with a career spanning collaborations with leading jazz figures and appearances in ensembles like the BMI/New York Jazz Orchestra.
