Tony Cuda’s Jazz Cats is a powerhouse modern jazz ensemble based in Cleveland, blending inventive composition with bold improvisation. Founded in 2010 by bassist and composer Tony Cuda, the band draws on a wide range of influences from Chick Corea and Mahavishnu Orchestra to Miles Davis and King Crimson, creating a sound that’s both progressive and deeply rooted in the jazz tradition. The group features Chris Cuda (guitar), Dan Maier (keys), Jim Cirillo (saxes), and Jim Wall (drums), each bringing decades of experience across genres and stages, from jazz clubs to rock festivals.
