Cat. No. SLIL002
Format Vinyl LP
Style Jazz, Vocal Jazz

Pianist and vocalist Juanita Cohen Smith follows her sold-out debut, Introducing Juanita Cohen Smith, with her second album on Slil Records. Her interpretations of jazz standards draw on a playing life that began in the 1940s. Following almost five decades living in Eilat, her debut release in 2024 helped bring her music to a new audience and led to a residency at Jazz Kissa in Tel Aviv.

Understanding Juanita Cohen Smith returns to the home sessions recorded by Yonatan Levi and Omri Gondor in Eilat in May 2021. Captured over five days on Juanita’s own piano, these recordings pair voice and piano with solo instrumental performances, preserving the intimate atmosphere of her home. The repertoire includes “Love Me or Leave Me,” “My Heart Belongs to Daddy,” “The Nearness of You,” “Feelings” and “Cabaret.” The album includes liner notes by Natasha Rose Gammell.
