"Curtis Mayfield is a one-of-a-kind musical genius" Lionel Richie The Curtom Orchestra are an all-star band featuring members of Jamiroquai, The Brand New Heavies, Incognito and more who will be celebrating the life and music of Curtis Mayfield and The Impressions. It is now over 20 years since the passing of Singer-Songwriter & Producer Curtis Mayfield. Born in Chicago, Illinois, Curtis Mayfield commenced his musical career as part of a gospel choir. After meeting Jerry Butler he formed The Impressions in 1956. The Impressions recorded many classics including 'We're a Winner', 'I'm So Proud', 'It's All Right', 'For Your Precious Love' and the politically-charged 'People Get Ready'. When he left The Impressions in 1970, Curtis Mayfield released a slew of socially conscious albums such as 'Curtis' (1970), 'Super Fly' (1972), 'Back To The World' (1973) and more. The Curtom Orchestra will be performing all of the classics and fan favourites from throughout the career of Curtis Mayfield. An AGMP Concerts presentation.
