Curtis Stigers

For the past 30 years, the singer, songwriter, saxophonist and guitarist Curtis Stigers has been making records that confound those who try to categorize his music or put him in a box.

Stigers burst onto the recording scene in 1991 with his eponymously-titled debut album, which sold 1.5 million copies and spawned several self-penned, pop/soul hit singles, including , "rdquo" -> You're All That Matters To Me", , "rdquo" -> Never Saw A Miracle" and the worldwide top-ten hit, , "rdquo" -> I Wonder Why."

The next year the singer/songwriter/saxophonist recorded Nick Lowe's , "rdquo" -> (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace Love and Understanding" for , "rdquo" -> The Bodyguard" soundtrack, which has sold over 45 million copies worldwide.

Stigers recorded two more pop-oriented albums in the 1990s and made guest appearances on several albums, including two by his early musical mentor, the legendary jazz pianist Gene Harris. In 2001 Stigers pivoted artistically and signed with Concord Jazz.…
