Smith, performing and recording with Roger Waters, exploring Americana with Southside Johnny & The Poor Fools, greasing grooves with Stax legends Steve Cropper & The Blues Brothers and vibing with the inimitable Downtown soul of Chocolate Genius.
Kazee's many television appearances and presence on the NYC music scene have made him a fixture in House Bands for many of the largest & most successful Galas/Corporate/Charitable events—finding him writing, arranging & backing dozens of well known musical artists.
