  • The Zaccai Curtis Trio

    Jazz

    Zaccai Curtis is an acclaimed recording artist and producer, recently honored with the 2025 Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Album. He leads his own groups, the Zaccai Curtis Quintet and Sonido Solar, and after five successful releases, is set to release his new album Sonoluminescence in 2026.

    Together with his brother Luques, Zaccai co-founded the record label TRRcollective, a collaborative space for musicians to produce and release their own music. He is also proud to have produced the Grammy-nominated album Entre Colegas by Andy González (2016).

    A native of Connecticut, Zaccai moved to New York City in 2005, where he has performed with renowned artists including Christian Scott, Donald Harrison, Cindy Blackman Santana, Eddie Palmieri, Lakecia Benjamin, Brian Lynch, the Mambo Legends, Avery Sharpe and many others.

    In addition to his performance career, Zaccai is a respected educator, teaching at the University of Hartford's Jackie McLean Jazz Studies Division. He is also an author, having written two instructional books: Art of the Guajeo and Theory of the Common Voicing, which support students in their Jazz and Latin Jazz studies.

    A three-time ASCAP Young Jazz Composer Award winner, Zaccai is a prolific composer and arranger for his own groups, as well as artists like Little Johnny Rivero, Steve Kroon, Waitiki 7 and Sonido Solar. His quartet was chosen by the U.S. State Department for the American Music Abroad (Jazz Ambassadors) program twice, touring South Asia in 2006. In 2007, he received the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism's Artist Fellowship for original composition. In 2017, he was awarded the Chamber Music America's New Jazz Works grant, and in 2020, he was named Rising Star in the DownBeat Critics Poll.

  • Randy Wong

    Jazz

    Classically trained as a double bassist at the New England Conservatory under legendary masters like Cecil McBee, Randy Wong is a versatile musical powerhouse who seamlessly bridges high-art performance, music education, and genre-defying entrepreneurship. A member of the Hawaii Symphony Orchestra with performances at world-renowned festivals like Tanglewood and Domaine Forget, Wong’s reach extends far beyond classical stages: he leads the chart-topping exotica ensemble The WAITIKI 7—whose acclaimed recordings sparked national NPR profiles and created an entire award category in Hawaii—and co-founded Pass Out Records to license original works across film, television, and Muzak. From orchestrating works across Klezmer and traditional Hawaiian genres to performing a duet for the feature film Go For Broke with ukulele legend Jake Shimabukuro, sharing a stage with George Clinton at an inaugural ball, and having his music featured in Steve Jobs’ historic video iPod launch, Randy brings an extraordinary depth of artistic brilliance, cross-genre innovation, and captivating storytelling to every stage and project he touches.
