JAZZRAUM Saisonabschluss – NYC Vibes

Eine letzte Session vor der Sommerpause.
Mit einem Quintett um den Altsaxofonisten Caleb Wheeler Curtis kommt die Jam-Kultur Brooklyns geradewegs ins Mehrspur. Be there!

Saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist Caleb Wheeler Curtis is a musician known for his “intensely focused and garrulously inventive” style, which draws from a wide range of influences including progressive bop and post-Coltrane/Ornette free improvisation. Based in Brooklyn, NY, Caleb is a leader and core member of several bands, including Ember, Orrin Evans & The Captain Black Big Band (2x GRAMMY Nominated), Walking Distance, and the Fat Cat Big Band. His third album as a leader, HEATMAP, was released on Imani Records in 2022 and features pianist Orrin Evans, bassist Eric Revis, and drummer Gerald Cleaver. The album received widespread critical acclaim, with All About Jazz calling him “one of the more interesting alto saxophonists to emerge since 2000,” and Jazzwise describing it as “exhilarating post-Ornette free-jazzmaking.” DownBeat Magazine said HEATMAP “radiates with brilliance,” and Musica Jazz (Italy) described it as “a masterpiece.”
