This definition is what the music of “Insight†is about. To play with the very thing that you and
I are made of is a very powerful, spiritual understanding. The universe is composed of vibrations,
and to musically draw these vibrations out into the open is an experience that is more than special.
As a group, “Insight†has traveled and performed in festivals in Cuba and at venues all
over the United States. Their commitment to the art has helped them to gain recognition and
respect by some of the most important performing artists on the jazz and Latin-jazz scene
today. “Insight†has performed with some of the world’s greatest living artists, such as Wynton
Marsalis, Danilo Perez, Andy Gonzalez, David Valentin, Tito Puente, Nelson Gonzalez, Jimmy
Greene, John Patittucci, Steve Davis, David Sanchez and even the Hartford Symphony
Orchestra.
While the members of “Insight†collectively produce a sound that is fresh, individually, they
are or have been side-men for some of the greatest musicians alive such as: Herbie Hancock,
Eddie Palmieri, Jimmy Greene, David Valentin, Papo Vasquez, Ralph Peterson, Brian Lynch, Chick
Corea, Gary Burton, and Donald Harrison.
Each member brings his own experiences together to contribute and collaborate to the
arrangements and original compositions of “Insight.†One of their main objectives is to never have
a dull moment on stage. If they can keep it exciting for themselves, then they can keep it exciting
for the audience.
“Co-led by Zaccai and Luques Curtis, on piano and bass respectively, the group
exhibited one of the most exciting sounds on the scene today, distinguished by tightly-played
serpentine arrangements that melded memorable melodies, sophisticated harmonies and a
dazzling array of AfroCarribean rhythms.†-Russ Musto (All About Jazz)
