About Suzanne Cloud

Suzanne Cloud started her career in regional theater in the Philadelphia area appearing as the lead in productions both musical and dramatic including Pajama Game, Silent Night, Lonely Night, an original musical version of Bell Book and Candle, touring with The Fantastiks, Carousel and South Pacific and finally Sex Tips for Modern Girls at the Society Hill Playhouse. Cloud also appeared on television in the PBS movie A Woman of Spirit about early feminist Lucretia Mott and was chosen to sing on the talent segment of NBC's Fantasy Show.

In the late 1970s, Suzanne Cloud toured the East Coast with a Top 40 disco band while recording jingles for local banks, retail stores, Armstrong Floors, Comcast Cable and the tune “Come Fly With Me" for the production show at the Playboy Casino in Atlantic City.

By 1980, Cloud had switched from cover bands and jingles to jazz while indulging her love of songwriting. She quickly began working with some of Philadelphia's best jazz artists including: jazz fusion pioneer Eddie Green, famed trumpeter Johnny Coles, pianist Uri Caine, bassist Tyrone Brown, bassist Gerald Veasley, tenor man Larry McKenna, organist Shirley Scott, tenor sax Bootsie Barnes, pianist Sam Dockery, pianist Jim Ridl, bassist Darryl Hall, guitarist Jef Lee Johnson and baritone sax player Denis DiBlasio.

Cloud's radio appearances include many interviews on WHYY-NPR The Bob Perkins Show, WRTI--Jazz 90 NPR Live at the Painted Bride, WRTI--Jazz 90 Live at the Aztec and Live from Fairmount Park, WDAS Jazz World, WDCU in Washington DC, The Jerry Hanlon Show and WHYY Radio Times with Marty Moss Coane. Suzanne Cloud has played all the major hotels in Philadelphia and Atlantic City as well as the jazz clubs Not Quite Cricket (where she ran a famous jam session in the mid-1980s), Zanzibar Blue, The Upstairs, The Blue Note, Just Jazz, and the Borgia Cafe. She also was featured at many of the Mellon Jazz Festivals, the Berks County Jazz Festivals and Willingboro Jazz Festivals. Suzanne has also shared the stage with other female performers for a Jazz at the Mann appearance that featured Flora Purim, Odetta, Sonia Sanchez, Mavis Staples, Regina Carter and others.
