About This Event
At Arthur's Tavern, New York–based jazz vocalist Richard Cortez treats standards as raw material, loosening phrasing and harmony without abandoning a song's core. His disciplined sense of time and ear for ensemble dialogue shape sets that favor clarity over spectacle, using improvisation to extend the narrative rather than decorate it.
