Curtis Stigers

Curtis Stigers is at the forefront of a new generation of jazz singers. With one of the most distinctive voices in music, the singer/saxophonist/songwriter pushes the boundaries of conventional jazz performers and expands the jazz repertoire creating modern jazz standards. Curtis continues to blaze a path as one of his generation’s finest and most original interpreters of modern songs.

“This is my niche, my speciality,” says Stigers. “I have a great love and an eclectic knowledge of a wide array of songwriters and musical genres, and I know how to bring them all together into one cohesive sound. I want to follow in the footsteps of my heroes. This is what Ella and Billie Holiday did. This is what Sinatra and Nat Cole did. This is even what Miles and Coltrane and nearly all of the great jazz artists have done. They’ve taken the popular songs of their generation and created something new from them. I know a lot about Rock music, Alt Country and Urban Blues, Folk music and Punk Rock, so I use that knowledge. That’s what I’m steadily becoming known for.”

Curtis Stigers has been called “one of the best male jazz singers of his generation” by JazzTimes. His refusal to stand still, and his consistent desire to grow and evolve musically, has earned him admiration and recognition… and kept critics guessing.
