Caleb Wheeler Curtis
Saxophonist, trumpeter, and multi-instrumentalist Caleb Wheeler Curtis has been called "one of the more daring musicians in jazz today" by All About Jazz, and his music described as "a masterpiece" by Italy's Musica Jazz. Originally from Ann Arbor, Michigan and based in Brooklyn, NY since 2009, Curtis draws from a wide range of influences — progressive bop, post-Coltrane lyricism, and Ornette-rooted free improvisation — forging an approach that is, above all, distinctly his own. A MacDowell Fellow, his work spans bandleading, collaboration, and sideman work across an expansive and growing discography.
