BROADWAY PERFORMER | RECORDING ARTIST - This week our guest is CORTES ALEXANDER. Cortes recently came off a sold-out, Tony Award-winning Broadway run with Liza Minnelli, starring as one of her four intricate harmonists (The Williams Brothers) during her second act of "Liza's at the Palace." He has known Liza for 17 years, and has performed with her on two tours for seven years. Cortes was also a part of "The Tonics" and his own "Cortes Alexander Trio." He just released his debut album "Swell" which received rave reviews from the Miami Herald and Instinct Magazine, as well as garnering 5 out of 5 stars from Broadway World. The album is an eclectic blend of jazz, pop-rock and euro-lounge music, and features a mix of original songs and covers.
