Serente Jazz & Wine Escapes is Not Your Typical Concert.
SOOTHING YOUR SOUL
EXCEEDING YOUR EXPECTATIONS

A Message from Linda
Serente Jazz & Wines is not your typical concert. It’s an experience that culminates smooth jazz and wine…with a lot of fun! Serente Jazz & Wine Escapes was created in honor of my late Mother and my deep passion and love for music. Its purpose is also to provide a platform for talented artists and bring awareness to the true realities of life as an independent artist at the competitive national level.

Hello I'm Linda
About Linda
Hello there!
I’m a lifelong Smooth Jazz enthusiast, and my love for this genre has been a defining part of my life since the late ’80s. There’s something about the mellow tones of the saxophone and the deep, resonant sounds of the bass that just speak to my soul.
Some of my favorite artists include Boney James, Grover Washington, Dave Koz, David Sanborn, Dee Lucas, Jackiem Joyner, Brian Culbertson, Marcus Miller, Julian Vaughn, Brian Simpson, Najee, and so many more. Their music has been my constant companion, especially during the past year, when I faced some heartbreaking life changes. The only thing that healed me and helped me get through it all was listening to smooth jazz and attending concerts. There’s nothing quite like seeing a blend of every race, background, and religion come together to enjoy our events.
I also love VIP wine tastings with artists—there’s something magical about combining great music with fine wine. Through SJWE (Smooth Jazz With Ease), we only book National Recording Billboard Charting Artists, ensuring top-tier performances every time.
SJWE isn’t just about concerts; it’s about creating unforgettable, heartfelt, and FUN experiences. It’s a tribute to my mother and my passion for music, aiming to provide unique, intimate experiences at smaller venues with many personal touches. We offer special personal meet-and-greet experiences with the artists, making every event memorable.
My mission is to help these artists in every way I possibly can, from raising awareness about the raw reality of what it takes to be an independent artist today to organizing private corporate or in-home events. At SJWE, it’s all about connecting, healing, and celebrating the beautiful music that brings us all together.
I look forward to sharing this incredible journey with you!
With Gratitude,
Linda Cuffari
