Zaccai Curtis
The ZACCAI CURTIS QUINTET expands on the "Cubop” concept, exploring original music that challenges the boundaries of Latin Jazz. An inventive and percussive pianist, bandleader Zaccai Curtis is well known as a sideman with the likes of Lakecia
Benjamin, Donald Harrison, Cindy Blackman-Santana and Ralph Peterson. He's also known for performing around the country with the Curtis Brothers bands, co-led with Luques Curtis. This time, Zaccai leads his own ensemble mixing jazz and R&B concepts with Afro-Puerto Rican and Cuban elements. Curtis takes inspiration from his mentors Eddie Palmieri and Donald Harrison joining rhythms from the Latin world and Nouveau Swing. Rest assured you'll be hearing a brand new sonic imprint in the world of jazz.
