RECORDING ARTIST & LIVE PERFORMER - 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. He will share some funny and

insightful stories with our audience.

Prior to that, he was a part of "The Tonics" and his own "Cortes Alexander Trio." He just released his debut

album "Swell." This CD has received rave reviews from outlets such as 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, totaling 16

tracks.
