The Curtis Brothers - Classic Jazz with a Latin Blend

4/12/15

The Baby Grand Jazz Series sponsored by the Hartford Jazz Society featured The Curtis Brothers.A duel featuring Curtis brothers Zaccai on piano and and Luques on bass. They proved to be second to known musicians as they were in creative control of the projection, tone and improvisation of the jazz standards. They even infused there heritage in the music with some Latin bebop. Over all another outstanding performance at the library. Below my sketches of the performance.
