Chucks most recent CD, recorded with his quartet, is titled North By Northeast and features Chucks original acoustic fusion music. The CD has been receiving airplay on major jazz stations and garnering new fans and rave reviews worldwide.
JORGE GOMEZ, who emigrated to the US from Cuba in 2000 and arrived in Saratoga in 2016, is founder, musical director and keyboardist for the three-time Grammy-nominated Cuban/Latin Jazz ensemble Tiempo Libre. Gomez and Lamb will work the keys on an irresistible, exhilarating mix of jazz harmonies and seductive Latin rhythms.

Ria's bountiful music career has included NYC radio airplay, TV appearances and featured performances at Radio City, Carnegie Hall and more.

Tonight, Curley, Lamb and Gomez (plus the talented Brad Monkell on bass and Sam Zucchini on percussion/drums) will collaborate and improvise on an eclectic and hooky mix of original and standard, vocal and instrumental, Jazz, Fusion, Cuban & R&B songs.
