2025 GRAMMY Award winner Zaccai Curtis is a multi-faceted pianist for whom every side of his work gleams. Equal parts performer, composer, educator, and producer, Curtis has won himself esteem in each area as he vibrantly showcases his mastery of both the Jazz and Afro-Caribbean Jazz lineages.

As a musician who is so deeply steeped in the Jazz and Bebop tradition and so vivaciously immersed in the worlds of Afro-Cuban Jazz, Curtis found himself wanting to pay homage to the great musicians in whose steps he has trod who brought together the distinct fusion of these musical cultures. “I wanted to make a period piece album that brought a new perspective to an older style – one that wasn’t covered the way I thought it could be,” Curtis says. “Cubop Lives! points out the earliest of “jazz fusion” and the combination of cultures that related to each other socially, politically and, of course, musically.”

Curtis brings along his Quartet, which expands upon the CUBOP era, with a mix of new compositions and classics from Dizzy Gillespie, Kenny Dorham to Machito. Exploring these classic Afro-Cuban jazz concepts this quartet brings a new sound through their arrangements and vision of where this music should go. This group features bassist Luques Curtis, timbalero

Willie Martinez, conguero Camilo Molina, bongosero Reinaldo De Jesus and flautist Jeremy Bosch.
