About This Event
Richard Cortez brings his New York–based vocal approach to Arthur's Tavern, working at the intersection of vocal jazz and freer forms. He treats standards as raw material, loosening phrasing and harmony without abandoning the song's core, and uses a disciplined sense of time and an ear for ensemble dialogue to shape improvisation as narrative extension rather than surface ornament.
