Caleb Wheeler Curtis: Jazz Musician in New York

About Caleb Wheeler Curtis

Caleb Wheeler Curtis is a New York City–based jazz artist whose work sits in the overlap of free jazz and experimental improvisation. At Bar Bayeux, he leads small-group sets that prioritize collective motion and quick shifts in texture, drawing on the presence of collaborators like Emmanuel Michael, Michael Sarin, Hery Paz, and Colson Jimenez. His role is often less about front-line display and more about steering the ensemble’s listening. The music favors risk and conversation over fixed arrangements.
