On June 18, 2022, drummer Joe Farnsworth led a special reopening VIP set at Smoke Jazz Club, featuring guitarist Peter Bernstein, pianist Mike LeDonne, and bassist Felix Moseholm. This performance marked a significant moment for Smoke, which had been closed for two years due to the pandemic. Farnsworth, a fixture at Smoke since the early 1990s, has a deep connection to the venue, having led weekend jazz combos there when it was known as Augie's.
