The Wall Street Journal is Bullish on Curtis Stigers

Curtis — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 15:03:15 +0000

WALL STREET JOURNAL JULY 29, 2011 “When Curtis Stigers came on stage on Wednesday night it felt as if someone had upped the wattage in the bulbs. It ought to have been no surprise that Mr. Stigers is a competent turn on stage—this is, after all, a man whose first album sold more than 1.5 million copies. But I hadn’t quite been prepared for the sheer brio with which he tears into a crowd.” [read more...]

A Rave From Rochester!

Curtis — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 16:32:50 +0000

The Rochester City Paper said this about Curtis at The Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival: “It was day No. 5 and did we ever kick it into overdrive. Curtis Stigers started off my evening at Kilbourn Hall. Opening with Arthur ‘Big Boy’ Crudup’s ‘That’s Alright’ with a brief stop at ‘Heartbreak Hotel,’ Stigers was all kinds of suave. His voice was sharp and seasoned — downright luxurious — and his phrasing was impeccable without being the least bit indulgent. When he wasn’t crooning tunes ‘genetically engineered to make you cry,’ he bopped heavy and cool on the sax. Serious class act here, folks.” -Rochester City Paper, Rochester, NY -Watch a video of Curtis at soundcheck in Rochester!

4 out of 5 Stars
Review by John L Walters for guardian.co.uk, Sunday 1 August 2010

Immaculate in tie, suit and breast-pocket handkerchief, he is smack bang in fashion, making the kind of Blue Note post-bop to which 1960s ad executives sipped martinis. He comes across like an amalgam of Mad Men characters Roger Sterling and Jimmy Barrett… [read more...]

CURTIS STIGERS WINS JAZZ ECHO AWARD

Curtis — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 03:33:23 +0000

The German Phono Academy has named Curtis Stigers “International Male Jazz Singer of the Year” for his new album “Lost in Dreams.” He’ll be traveling to Germany with his band to perform on the Jazz ECHO awards TV broadcast on May 5, 2010. About the award, Curtis says, “It’s kind of like the German version of the Grammy Awards, except I think they give out a gold-plated schnitzel, AND they actually televise these jazz awards, rather than presenting them in the afternoon at a secret brunch, like they do at the Grammys… But seriously folks, it’s a real honor for me and I’m very excited and grateful!” Watch the video of our performance at the award show!
