Prepare for an electrifying double bill as Caffè Lena and Putnam Place present Chuck Lamb, Jorge Gómez & the Cuban Fusion Jazz Collab sharing the stage with Ria Curley & the Soul Jaz Collab—two dynamic ensembles bringing jazz to life with passion, energy, and genre-defying style at Putnam Place.
Chuck Lamb, Jorge Gómez & the Cuban Fusion Jazz Collab
Caffè Lena’s resident jazz pianist Chuck Lamb, longtime member of the Brubeck Brothers Quartet, is known for his expressive playing and genre-blending compositions that span jazz, classical, fusion, and world music. Lamb brings his signature artistry and improvisational fire to this special collaboration with Jorge Gómez—Havana-born pianist, composer, and founder of the three-time Grammy-nominated band Tiempo Libre. Known for their powerful blend of Latin jazz and Cuban timba, Gómez’s compositions have been praised by The New York Times and performed alongside legends like Gloria Estefan, Joshua Bell, and Sir James Galway. Together, Lamb and Gómez lead a high-voltage ensemble that fuses jazz, funk, classical, and Cuban traditions—all performed with fiery virtuosity and soulful flair.
Ria Curley & the Soul Jaz Collab
Singer-songwriter Ria Curley brings a warm, sensual voice and a thoughtful blend of jazz, soul, and R&B to her original songs. Her music explores love, growth, and connection anchored by uplifting lyrics and irresistible grooves by the Soul Jaz Collab. Curley approaches performance as a form of storytelling, drawing audiences into an experience that’s both intimate and energizing.
Two incredible bands, perfect for a hot summer night of cool jazz. Cuban rhythms and jazzy soul make for a night of boundary-breaking jazz that will leave you dancing, dreaming, and inspired.
