CURLEY LAMB NU-SOUL-JAZ COLLAB

Ria Curley & Chuck Lamb with Band

Soulful Songs • Inspired Jazz Improvisation • Two Pianos

Appearing at the Rochester International Jazz Festival – Monday, June 22, Montage Music Hall, 6 pm & 10 pm

The Curley Lamb Nu-Soul-Jaz Collab brings together singer-songwriter Ria Curley and pianist-composer Chuck Lamb of the Brubeck Brothers Quartet in a band where soulful songs and dynamic instrumental jazz meet. Centered around two pianos and a soulful ensemble, the music moves fluidly between Ria's poignant, R&B-infused songs and Chuck's expansive instrumental improvisation.

The group performs as a trio, quartet, or expanded ensemble, equally at home on festival stages, in concert halls, and in intimate listening-room settings.

“…a sizzling set by the Chuck Lamb Quintet with singer Ria Curley…”   — DownBeat
