Radically queer jazz song interpreter, Richard Cortez has been setting the underground music scene ablaze with his provocative and high-energy horn driven shows. Known for his extensive knowledge of the Great American Songbook, Cortez currently performs weekly residencies with his band that features some of New York City’s most celebrated jazz musicians. He breathes exciting new life into this beloved timeless material, forever reminding us that as we progress as a society - so do our stories told within these sacred songs.

Catch a preview of Richard’s new Christmas album, “A Calvan & Cortez Christmas” during his Django set on November 16th. The album drops on Friday, November 15th and can be purchased or streamed HERE.
