“What a Gem! Santa Fe boasts some hidden gems like Susan Abod. Her voice is… stellar.”
The Santa Fe Reporter

“There’s a lot to celebrate about this jazzy chanteuse and her music. The intimacy and verve of her voice the cleverness of her lyrics, the lilt of her melodies all conspire to create a living presence that, in reality, turns out to be suspended between two stereo speakers.”
Musically Speaking, Mel Minter

“Hear that? It’s the sound of Susan Abod singing with more beauty than anything you’ve ever attempted to make beautiful on your best day! She’s good.”

“Abod’s music exhibits a fun, varied vocal style. She is always jazzy and often uses her voice like a horn.”
The New Mexican

“Jazzers often joke about female singers, but when the chanteuse is Susan Abod, humor turns to homage.”

All That Jazz
“Looking for an evening of jazz that’s a little different than what you’re used to? Look no further than local chanteuse Susan Abod’s upcoming performance at Tiny’s. The singer’s past includes training from Chicago’s DePaul University, membership in rock bands and a solo European tour. Now, Abod delivers quirky songs and stories that harken back to the days of cabaret and parlor entertainment. With the exception of a few covers (look for a jazzy rendition from Peter Pan the Musical), the bulk of Abod’s performance will be original tunes culled from her personal experiences. “When I started playing with [local jazz pianist] Bert Dalton, he really encouraged me to perform my own music,” Abod says. “It really spurred me on to write new stuff—some of which you’ll hear at the show—and get working on a new album I hope to release soon.” Get out and support some jazz and, with a little luck, Abod will become a regular fixture at Tiny’s.”
