Crossing musical boundaries for inspiration while he continues to defy categorization, singer/saxman Curtis Stigers delivers an intriguing assortment of contemporary songs, with unbridled creativity.

From Lennon & McCartney to Billy Joel to Joe Jackson, Stigers tackles a collection of modern pop gems with passion, insight, adventurousness, and a singular soulful voice, transforming them into jazz-infused masterpieces of his own. "Rock 'n' roll and jazz share so many of the same artistic bloodlines that it's remarkable the two don't fuse more often into the kind of inspired marriage of visceral clout and intellectual savvy conjured by the singer, songwriter and saxophonist Curtis Stigers." -New York Times
