 Curtis Stigers “may be the most convincing ballad singer in jazz,” says the New York Times. Originally a pop crooner and sax player who has found a legitimate home in jazz, Curtis Stigers will return to the Dakota in Minneapolis for a three-night stand (August 9-11) and then on to a weekend in Chicago at the Green Mill (August 13-14). Stigers has been increasingly praised for his jazz interpretations of wide ranging material, from covers of Merle Haggard and the Beatles to the contemporary pop of Billy Joel and jazz standards. His 2003 release, You Inspire Me, was named best of the year by the London Times, and critically acclaimed for its “passion, insight, adventurousness, and a singular soulful voice.”

When you think of hard-driving swing, daring expression, sophistication and elegance in artistry, formidable technique and a thunderous sound, there are only a small handful of young pianists you think of and one of them is most assuredly ERIC REED. But don’t think of him as a just a pianist; Eric is one of the new generation’s most advanced thinkers in Jazz music.
Born in Philadelphia, PA. on June 21, 1970, Eric grew up playing Gospel music in his father’s storefront Baptist church, starting at the age of five. "My father was a minister but he also used to sing with a Gospel group in Philly called the Bay State Singers. He was my earliest musical influence. I also was hit heavily by Edwin Hawkins' music of the 1970s. Gospel music remains a large part of my playing today." Afterwards, young Reed was bitten by the Jazz bug after hearing recordings of Art Blakey, Ramsey Lewis and Dave Brubeck.
