About the artist:
Cindy Curtis has been singing in her native South Florida since the 1970’s. In 1974 she performed with renowned Jazz musician Dave Bruebeck as part of the Washington University Vocal Ensemble in his original cantanta at the Kiel Opera House in St. Louis. She performs with her trio at South Florida clubs and festivals. Performance sites have included the Riverwalk Sunday Jazz Brunch, the Norton Museum’s Jazz on the Lawn, Delray Art and Jazz on the Avenue, City of Weston’s Jazz Series, Main Street Live-Miami Lakes, Deerfield Beach Festival of the Arts, and the Northridge Hospital’s Art and Jazz Festival. Cindy was very proud to be asked to perform in Miami recently at a Jazz Tribute and Benefit Concert Celebrating the Musicians of New Orleans. "We put a contemporary twist to jazz standards," Ms. Curtis says. She has written original lyrics to the melodies of many jazz standards including: Blue Bossa, Footprints, and High-Fly. Her music has wide ranging appeal. Her audiences range in age from teens to senior citizens who all appreciate the uniqueness of her creative, expressive and explosive sound.
