ANTHONY CURTIS


Local guitar hero/shredder/teacher/studio musician Anthony Curtis is currently involved in a project to bring jazz giant John Coltrane to the six string.  A cd is planned, but this is no "tribute" as much as it is an interpretation with honor and a labor of love.  This project is garnering worldwide attention from some of the jazz and fusion world's heaviest hitters.  Check out Anthony's website and myspace page to hear some of the early sessions. 

Anthony is also the founder of ACME: Anthony Curtis Music Education.  He works with Richmond school children to bring music and poetry in to the classroom.  It's an amazing program and deserves attention.

Find out more here at the Anthony Curtis Music Education website.
Here's Anthony with one of his students.
